Bachelor of Science
This program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. The educational objectives of the Bachelor of Science degree program in electrical engineering are as follows:
- Domain Knowledge: Graduates will be able to apply their in-depth understanding of electrical and electronics systems within the constraints of performance specification, budget and scheduling.
- Professional Practice: Graduates will develop their engineering design, problem-solving skills and aptitude for innovation as they work on multi-disciplinary teams.
- Life-Long Learning: Graduates will become experts in their chosen fields, members of their professional societies and broaden their professional knowledge with formal and/or informal continuing education.
- Engineering Citizenship: Graduates will practice the ethics of their profession consistent with a sense of social responsibility and the promotion of justice.
The first year of this program places major emphasis on the fundamentals of engineering, basic mathematics, and the physical sciences to provide the background for engineering science and design courses. Following preparatory work, the fundamentals of electrical, mechanical, and materials engineering concepts are developed. Advanced courses in electrical and electronic engineering further develop knowledge in this engineering discipline. The program places increasing emphasis on design assignments and offers advanced elective courses that permit students to tailor their programs to specific career objectives. Standard software packages, such as Electronic Workbench, MathCad, and MATLAB Toolboxes, are employed for problem solving purposes, and electronic design packages such as Xilinx and Viewlogic are used in digital electronic design laboratories.

Concentration in Control Systems
Electrical and mechanical systems often require intelligent control systems interfaced with feedback mechanisms. The concentration in control systems starts with an understanding of simple electron devices and sensors for open and closed loop systems. It continues with studies of analog and digital control systems, and concludes with the design and prototyping of stable control and feedback systems. Students must complete this concentration in the junior and senior year. They can use the two major electives for this purpose. For further depth into this area students may choose to take MF 361-362 Automation and Robotics I and II.
The courses in the concentrations are:
MC 230 Electron Devices and Sensors
MC 290 Engineering Systems Dynamics
MC 300/EE302 Feedback and Control Systems
