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 abroad range of electives in such fields as control systems, renewable energy, and electrodynamics and communication. The students, with the counsel and guidance of faculty advisors, design their electives program around their own special interest.
The mission of the program in Electrical Engineering is to provide innovative teaching, research and service and prepare problem solvers, creative thinkers and researchers with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics competitive background focused on the core of electrical engineering.
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
