Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineering is the profession for those intrigued with electrical phenomena and eager to contribute their skills to a society increasingly dependent on electricity and sophisticated electronic devices.

It is a profession of broad scope with many specialty careers designed for engineers who seek an endless diversity of career paths on the cutting edge of technology. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers publishes transactions on about 60 different topics, from aerospace and electronic systems to visualization and computer graphics. This is a breadth so great that no single electrical engineering department can hope to span it. Moreover, those fields themselves encompass still more fascinating specialties. We give the basics; the future is yours to shape.

Electrical Engineering Programs in ESE

• The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the General Criteria. See the University Bulletin for Objectives & Degree Requirement
• The Bachelor of Science in Applied Science (Systems Science & Engineering) program is recommended if students wish to pursue a program that does not follow conventional lines. The applied science degree is not accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. See the University Bulletin for Degree Requirements.
• A minor or second major in Electrical Engineering is ideal for students majoring in many areas, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. Students are not allowed to add this second major to either the BS in Electrical Engineering or the BS in Applied Science (Electrical Engineering).
