Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
The accredited curriculum leading to the degree of bachelor of science in
Electrical Engineering is intended to qualify students to begin a
professional career in electrical engineering or to proceed to advanced
study. The departmental concentration electives and free electives permit
the undergraduate to select additional courses in the core areas.
Students may study a wide variety of topics including electric machines,
semiconductor integrated circuits, VLSI design,
biomedical engineering, microwaves and telecommunications, antennas and antenna systems,
optical electronics, lasers, Fourier optics, fiber optics, digital image
processing, semiconductor and optoelectronics materials, signal
processing, switching circuit design, computer architecture, parallel
processing, computer systems and multimedia.
The core courses of the degree program contain elements of design as well
as analysis, and include associated laboratory work. They involve concepts
of circuits and systems, digital and analog electronics, microprocessors,
electromagnetic fields, automatic control and communication.
The requirements for the accredited degree can be satisfied by following
the standard program below:

The selection of elective course described above maybe altered for program
flexibility. The assignments here represent one possible way of meeting
the requirements for the bachelor of science in electrical engineering
degree.
The department foundation courses must include Engineering Science 5. Of
the three elective department foundation courses, one must be a
mathematics or science course selected from an approved list.
Four of the elective departmental concentration courses are normally
chosen from nonrequired electrical engineering courses. The additional one
is selected from nonrequired electrical engineering courses; from
appropriate graduate-level courses in biology, chemistry, computer
science, engineering, engineering science, mathematics or physics; or from
a list ( provided by the department ) of approved undergraduate technical
course.
