Description

Electrical Engineering is the basis of Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Biomedical Engineering. We tend to be excited by the breakthroughs in smart phones, i-pads/minicomputer, improved medical machinery, GPS, and a host of other gadgets that make our modern life more exciting and more comfortable. Electrical Engineering is the field that gives us the applied science to build all of these gadgets. It is also the field from which the knowledge will come for the creation of new gadgets and for the improvement of present-day machinery.

Since it is a universal degree, the BSEE graduate is flexible – the graduate can bend their talents to satisfy the needs of ever-changing technology. This promotes job security for the graduate, and it feeds the appetite of an advancing society. The graduate of this program will obtain the basic education in the first three years. The last year is utilized to explore specific areas of interest. Our graduates will have expertise in at least one sub-field of Electrical Engineering such as electricity, machines/controllers, energy/power, signals/communications, materials, and electronic device analysis. A total of 120 semester hours are required to complete the degree.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

  • The final outcome of this degree is the ability of the graduate to obtain a job they might not otherwise have obtained.
  • The graduate is able to understand technology, particularly engineering principles and to communicate these principles with others, both verbally and through the writing of technical reports.
  • The graduate can use this degree as an aid for future advancement to obtain the MSEE (for example) or any other technical degree that rests on the foundation of the BSEE.
  • The graduate is a strong asset to a society that is ever more becoming dependent on technology and science for its development and growth.

    Course Content

  • Our graduates will understand the basics of classical Electrical Engineering – they will have the ability to design and analyze electronic circuit diagrams.
  • Our graduates will be trained in writing technical reports, especially as these reports apply to issues of electricity, machines/controllers, energy/power, signals/communications, materials, and electronic device analysis. They will also be good “book keepers” of data and incidents related to the study of a particular problem or task.
  • Our graduates will be able to use the computer for scientific analysis. This includes problem solving and data collection/analysis.
  • Our graduates will be able to design and build circuits/devices in a laboratory setting and analyze same.
  • Our graduates will have expertise in at least one sub-field of Electrical Engineering, and they will have a general knowledge of many other topics in Electrical Engineering and other branches of engineering, including many topics that are not in their field of expertise.
