Undergraduate Program

Electrical Engineering students begin with basic courses in electrical circuits, signal processing and computer engineering.  All disciplines within Electrical Engineering also take core courses in mathematics, physical sciences, and humanities in Freshman and Sophomore years. By mid-Sophomore year, EE students are required to select an area of study which will determine their choice of courses and electives for the remaining two years. Students have the option of choosing among the following three areas:

1. Computer Engineering
2. Electronic Systems and Materials
3. Signal Processing and Communications

Each student is assigned a faculty advisor who will assist with the planning of electives in order to focus on the area of interest as well as with electives that will help broaden the educational experience. Students also have the option of taking graduate level courses as part of the integrated five-year master's program.

The curriculum provides ample opportunities for practical work through team and individual projects along with strong theory, grounded in mathematics and science. Project work begins in the first year and culminates with year-long senior projects. The goal, by the time students reach the senior year, is they will be able to perform open-ended system design, implementation and testing, cost analysis and prepare written and oral presentations. There are also opportunities for numerous research and independent study opportunities involving close work with faculty and professionals from industry.

Graduate Program

The candidate for the program must choose a full-time faculty member from the Electrical Engineering department as his or her advisor.
