The electrical engineering program offers a background that enables students to pursue careers in any of the many diverse facets of electrical engineering such as electronics/VLSI, electromagnetics, power systems, antenna design, networks, communications, controls, and optics with their Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE). The student may also select advanced undergraduate courses to develop individual and specific interests. Undergraduate students will take basic engineering courses as well as specialty courses in circuits, electromagnetic fields and waves, microprocessors, communication, signal processing, control systems and physical electronics. Undergraduates in the program prepare for positions as electrical engineers in industrial, commercial and government organizations. The field of optics and photonics is rapidly expanding with applications such as autonomous vehicles, machine vision, high efficiency solar cells, bigger and better display screens, etc. Electrical engineering serves as an integral part in all these applications. Therefore, a concentration in optics and photonics in electrical engineering provides a pathway for students to pursue careers in these exciting fields.
