While it is essential that electrical engineers understand the fundamentals of their chosen fields, they must also understand the role that other branches of engineering play in completed work. The curriculum provides a foundation in basic engineering as well as depth and breadth in electrical engineering and sufficient electives to allow specialization in academic areas including:

  • Electronic Devices and Circuits
  • Electromagnetics, Power and Photonics
  • Computers, Communications and Systems and Controls

The curriculum also prepares an engineer for professional licensure.The department's extensive laboratory facilities and varied research programs assist in both experimental and theoretical approaches to electrical and computer engineering.
