As defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, “Engineering is the application of science and mathematics by which the properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature are made useful to [humankind].” The study of Electrical Engineering, with a focus on Electronics and Communications, involves learning about analog and digital electronics, microelectronic systems, microcontrollers, mobile communication systems, signal processing, and the Internet.
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) program prepares students for an exciting career in the design and manufacturing of electronic systems, communications systems and networks, microprocessors and computers, digital systems, microwave and radio frequency (RF) systems, antennas, robotics, 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 for a career in the industry in the region and beyond, as well as for the graduate program of their choosing. The technical and liberal arts components of the curriculum provide students with the opportunity to gain self-development, technical competence, and an awareness of economic and ethical responsibilities. The BSEE program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
The Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (MSECE) curriculum, recognized as a Professional Science Masters (PSM) program by the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS), is designed to further the skills and knowledge of engineers, computer scientists, and similar professionals, and prepare them to be successful in the real-world by exposing them to management training and providing practical experience through internships and graduate seminars. The firm foundation in mathematics, computer science, and physics is augmented with a selection of engineering course options, which prepares the students to solve real-world problems.
