Undergraduate B.S. Program

The Department of Electrical Engineering offers a B.S., as well as, a M.S. degree program in electrical engineering. The undergraduate program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Students are directly admitted to this major upon their admission to the university.

The electrical engineering discipline involves design, development, and operation of systems that generate and use electronic signals. In the electrical engineering curriculum, students acquire both a fundamental and practical knowledge of electronic devices and circuits, electromagnetic fields, electronic materials, digital signals and systems, computers, and many forms of electronic design.

To learn more about the B.S. program, please browse through the pages we have prepared for prospective students and current students, as well as the suggested 4-year plans below.

We encourage you to contact us, stop by the Department of Electrical Engineering office (EB 330), or to visit with any of our faculty members for additional information and assistance.
