Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
Description:
The curriculum in electrical engineering provides the student with a
science-based general education in the field. Elective courses are available
in the following fields in the junior and senior years: electric power,
communications, control, computer engineering, signal processing and
micro-electronics.
In the first two years of electrical engineering, course work is limited
to those subjects which are essential as preparatory courses for more
technical courses in the third and fourth years. Fundamental courses in
electrical engineering are introduced in the second year. In the third and
fourth years, the curriculum provides advanced instruction through required
courses and electives. These electives are included in the curriculum to
allow the student to acquire additional depth in the student selected field
of electrical engineering. These technical electives are normally selected
from upper division electrical engineering or computer engineering courses.
However, a student with special-career objectives can petition the department
through his or her adviser for prior written permission to select technical
electives from technical course offerings in mathematics, the sciences, or
other areas of engineering.
The mathematics/statistics elective is selected from a department-approved
list. Students should consult with their advisers to select a course from this
list.
A total of six humanities and social science electives (non-technical
electives) and three technical electives must be selected. The humanities
and social science electives must be chosen so as to meet University Liberal
Studies Program requirements and Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology accreditation guidelines.
Minimum Grade-Point
Average for Graduation:
To be eligible for graduation in electrical engineering a student must
attain a grade-point average of 2.0 or better for all required electrical
engineering courses. If a required E E course is repeated, only the hours
credited and the grade received for the last completion of the course is
used in computing the grade-point average. It is important for students to
take courses in the order specified as much as possible/ all pre- and
co-requisites must be observed.
To complete the B.S. degree program in four years, a student must take
approximately 17 credit hours per semester.
A typical B.S. degree program which completes degree requirements in
four years or a total of 139 credit hours is as follows:
