The Electrical Engineering Program is a program in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Electrical engineering provides a variety of opportunities in work related to digital computers, electronics, control systems, communication systems, power electronics and systems, and other areas. The electrical engineering curriculum is intended to provide students with a background suitable for either industrial employment or advanced education at the graduate level. The program includes a spectrum of courses and considerable laboratory experience. In addition, depth in areas of specialization within electrical engineering is provided by several technical electives.

Program Objectives

The Electrical Engineering Program is designed to produce graduates who are able to

1. practice electrical engineering in one or more of the following areas: communications computers,controls, power electronics, and power systems
2. define and diagnose problems and provide and implement electrical engineering solutions in industry,business, and government
3. observe engineering ethics in the practice of electrical engineering
4. communicate effectively with technically diverse audiences
5. collaborate with others as a member or as a leader in an engineering team
6. develop their knowledge beyond the undergraduate level and keep current with advancements inelectrical engineering

Electrical Engineering students are limited to two grades of D in EEC courses. Technical electives must be chosen from the available EEC elective courses.
