2020-2021 Academic Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

Electrical and Computer Engineering

Chair: Dr. Muhammad Rashid, Professor

Electrical Engineering

Computer Engineering

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering delivers degree programs in both electrical and computer engineering with several concentrations available to customize the degree.

The electrical engineering program is directed towards the practical use of scientific, engineering, and technical principles to meet the objectives of industry, business, government, and the public. Underlying the programs is a recognition that the impact of technology upon the quality of life is increasing and that the proper application of technology is critical to meeting current, emerging human needs, and working with regional industries to develop and increase technically knowledgeable human resources.

The basic required program of instruction in fundamental theory and laboratory practice is balanced by courses in concentration areas such as control systems, renewable energy, and electrodynamics. The students, with the counsel and guidance of faculty mentors, design their concentration program around their own special interest.

The program in computer engineering encompasses a range of disciplines including engineering, science, and mathematics. The program educates students in the fundamental core of computer engineering and its cutting-edge, high-impact areas. Through consultation with faculty mentors, students in the program choose from concentrations such as digital logic design, embedded system design, and machine intelligence.
