The department offers several bachelor degree options.
 
BSEE and BSEE(C) Degrees
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.
 
For those planning to enter the undergraduate program in Electrical Engineering consult department faculty or advisors or the handbook.
 
BSCECS Degree
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.
