As defined in Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, “Engineering is the science by which the properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature are made useful to [humankind].” The study of Electrical Engineering, with focus in Electronics and Communications involves learning about analog and digital electronics, microelectronic systems, micro controllers, mobile communication systems, signal processing, and the Internet.

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) program has been designed to prepare students for an exciting career in designing and manufacturing of electronic systems, communications systems and networks, microprocessors and computers, digital design, VLSI, FPGA, microwave, RF and lightwave communications, and integrated circuits. The graduates of the program will be well grounded in the rigorous scientific and theoretical foundations of the discipline. This will prepare them not only to have a successful career in the industry in the region and beyond, but also to enter and be successful in any advanced level graduate program of their choosing. The technical and liberal arts components of the curriculum provide students with the opportunity for gaining self-development, technical competence, and awareness of economic and ethical responsibilities.

The MS-CES curriculum, recognized as a Professional Science Masters (PSM) program by the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS), is designed to further the working skills and practical knowledge of engineers, computer scientists and similar professionals and prepares them to be successful in the real world, exposing students to management training and providing practical real world experience through internships and graduate seminars. The firm base in mathematics, computer science and physics is augmented with a selection of engineering course options, which prepares the students for tackling real-world problems.
