Undergraduate Curriculum
Electrical engineering is a diverse and dynamic area of study. Over the last 40
years, electrical engineers in both industry and academia have revolutionized
the world. The phrase "high tech" refers specifically to electrical engineering
innovations and productivity. In perhaps no other discipline are undergraduate
students required to master such a diverse spectrum of knowledge. Indeed, new
graduates quickly find themselves becoming experts in areas of electrical
engineering unheard of 20 years ago.
Aware of the dynamic nature of the discipline, while at the same time cognizant
of that body of knowledge which appears to be timeless, the Department of
Electrical Engineering is continually in the process of evaluating and updating
its curriculum.
The undergraduate curriculum is specifically formulated with three goals in mind:
- to ensure that graduating engineers are well-studied in those areas that form
the foundation of all electrical engineering endeavors;
- to ensure that the curriculum, and hence our students, keep pace with changing
technologies;
- to ensure that the curriculum remains consistent with electrical engineering
curricula at other accredited institutions.
In reaching these departmental goals, senior electrical engineers must satisfy a
breadth and depth requirement in the following six areas:
- Communications
- Computer
- Control
- Electronics
- Fields
- Power
The department of electrical engineering cooperates with local industry to offer
a number of summer internships for qualified undergraduate electrical engineers.
NOTE: The professional FE examination, administered by a state board of
engineering registration, must be taken by all electrical engineering students
before graduation during the senior year of study.
