Bachelor of Science in Engineering(Electrical Engineering)

Course Description

The world we live in has become increasingly dependent on advances made in technology and engineering. The impact of technology spans a wide spectrum of products and services, from communication systems, computers and computer networks, and instruments for health care and diagnostics. These products are in part the result of creations of electrical, systems, and computer engineers. Our undergraduate programs provide students with the opportunity to become part of this exciting development and offers them a wide choice of career opportunities in industry, government, and academia. These undergraduate programs are designed to attract students of the highest intellectual caliber and to provide them with an education combining depth and breadth in engineering while taking advantage of the diverse resources of a large liberal arts university. Such an education prepares them to immediately assume positions of leadership in both technological and management capacities. Furthermore, it allows them to pursue further graduate studies toward careers in engineering and applied science research and education as well as other career paths. Electrical Engineering (EE) The broad umbrella of Electrical Engineering (EE) is involved in some part in almost all modern day technological advances and products in areas ranging across telephony, mobile and satellite communications, fiber optics, electrical power and machinery, instrumentation, computer systems, satellite systems, microelectronics, robotics, graphics, automatic control, and telecommunications to name but a few. The Electrical Engineering major is a flexible, broadbased program that provides a rigorous grounding in the analytical and experimental foundations of electrical engineering while allowing a student substantial flexibility in crafting an individualized program reflecting his or her interests and career goals
