The electrical engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. The Electrical Engineering major is a designated capstone major. Undergraduate students complete a design course in which they integrate their knowledge of the discipline and engage in creative design within realistic and professional constraints. Students apply their knowledge and expertise gained in previous mathematics, science, and engineering coursework. Within a multidisciplinary team structure, students identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems and present their projects to the class. The undergraduate curriculum provides all Electrical Engineering majors with preparation in the mathematical and scientific disciplines that lead to a set of courses that span the fundamentals of the discipline in the three major departmental areas of signals and systems, circuits and embedded systems, and physical wave electronics. These collectively provide an understanding of inventions of importance to society, such as the electrical grid, integrated circuits, photonic devices, automatic computation and control, and telecommunication devices and systems. There are Biomedical Engineering and Computer Engineering options available for this major. Students are encouraged to make use of their electrical engineering electives and a two-term capstone design course to pursue deeper knowledge within one of these areas according to their interests, whether for graduate study or preparation for employment.

This program provides students with an opportunity to pursue careers in their selective area of interest or prepare them to pursue in advanced coursework, in-depth training, and research investigations in several fields.
