Experiences in Electrical Engineering

The bachelor of science degree with a major in electrical engineering is designed to provide students with the mathematics, science, management, engineering and applications skills needed to work in various industries designing and producing electrical and electronic devices, systems and services. Three specializations are available: networks and communications systems, micro and nano devices and systems, and computer engineering, which is a separately-accredited program within the electrical engineering program and for which a concentration is declared. Senior design or “capstone” activities incorporate appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints and is based on knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work. An optional cooperative education program is available or students may participate in internships which develop both design and industry awareness and expertise. Membership in student organizations, research initiatives and opportunities to apply for nationally recognized service activities contribute to their experience.
