Current
Students - Undergraduate Degree Programs
The department
offers several bachelor degree options.
The department offers two bachelor degrees in Electrical Engineering,
namely the BSEE ( Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering) and the
BSEE(C) (Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with Emphasis on
Computers).
Electrical Engineering is a diverse discipline encompassing communication,
control, signal processing, computer engineering, electronic devices and
circuits, and electromagnetics and energy conversion. It is a part of
every industry, from environmental and manufacturing to semiconductor
and telecommunications technologies. The Electrical Engineering curriculum
provides a broad background in physics, materials and mathematics, balancing
fundamental core courses with the newest developments in engineering technology.
The
Handbook
- pdf provides detailed information on undergraduate degree
requirements and courses of instruction.
The bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and Computer Science is
an interdisciplinary undergraduate program in which students get the best
of both worlds: learn how to build a computer, then learn to write the
software to run it! One half of the curriculum is computer engineering
hardware and the other half is computer science software coursework. It
is a relatively new degree, formulated for students seeking immediate
marketability in the job rich computer industry. For specific courses
and admission requirements see Computer Engineering and Computer Science
(CECS) Handbook.
