Program Overview
The undergraduate degree offered by the department is the B.S. in electrical engineering. Electrical engineers work in research and development, product design, manufacturing, operations, service, technical sales and marketing, consulting, education, and environmental problem solving.
The undergraduate program provides the scope of knowledge and training for employment in the field and also forms the basis for further study at the graduate level. The curriculum emphasizes communications and signals, microelectronics and energy systems, and engineering materials and devices for electronics and photonics.
Communications and signals include wireless communications, communications systems, digital signal processing, and image and video processing. Microelectronics and energy systems include electronic instrumentation, integrated circuit systems, RF and microwave circuits, energy generation and conversion, and power conversion and control. Materials and devices for electronics and photonics include nanoelectronic device design and fabrication, electrical and optical characterization, optoelectronics and photonics. Students interested in computer hardware and software may take courses offered by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, including computer networks, high-performance computing, and VLSI design.
