B.S. in Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineering addresses societal challenges and economic growth through technological advancements in a wide range of electrical and electronic systems. Electrical engineers play a pivotal role in driving innovations in telecommunications, power distribution, control systems, signal processing, and many others. The B.S. in Electrical Engineering equips you with fundamental knowledge on electrical signals and systems, electronics, electromagnetics and power systems. You’ll then delve deeper into specific sub-disciplines such as chip design, robotic control, renewable energy, or machine learning. You’ll finish the program with the capstone course, “senior design project,” where teams design solutions to challenging real-world problems. After graduating from this program, you’re prepared to pursue careers in areas such as electric vehicles, smart homes, energy and power engineering, alternative energy systems, network engineering, medical technology, consumer electronics, microelectronics, robotic control and more. The demand for electrical engineers is high and growing with projections indicating continued job opportunities.

Students should have graduated from an approved or accredited high school or have earned a high school equivalency certificate or G.E.D. The high school course units should include the following: 4 units in English, emphasizing grammar, composition and literature; 4 units in mathematics, including Algebra I, Algebra II and geometry, and a higher level mathematics course for which Algebra II is a prerequisite; 2 units in social studies, including one unit in U.S. history; and 3 units in science, including at least one unit in a life or biological science (e.g., biology), at least one unit in a physical science (e.g., chemistry, physics, physical science), and at least one laboratory course; two additional academic units of English, Mathematics, science, social studies, world languages or computer science.
