If you embrace academic challenge and want to solve real-real-world problems, electrical engineering will enable you to create what’s next. Help create a world of expanded automation and a trillion-sensor economy driven by the capture, storage, processing, interpreting, and transmission of signals and data.
While electrical engineers work across every industry, the power generation business is a good example of how your broad B.S. in Electrical Engineering degree can lead to future specialization. Within power, graduates specialize as relay protection, communications, substation, distribution and transmission engineers, and work for electric utility or consulting firms.
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree program is directed towards the practical use of scientific, engineering, and technical principles to meet the objectives of industry, business, government, and the public. The basic required program of instruction in fundamental theory and laboratory practice is balanced by courses in concentration areas in Energy, Robotics, and Automotive, complemented with electives in Advanced Topics. Underlying the program is a recognition that the impact of technology upon the quality of life is increasing and that the proper application of technology is critical to meeting current, emerging human needs, and working with regional industries to develop and increase technically knowledgeable human resources.
Graduates are expected to be prepared with a solid and competitive foundation focusing on the state-of-the-art advances in the specialized concentration areas. Graduates are expected to be known for their accomplishments and attain the following within a few years of graduation.
Upon completion of the electrical engineering degree program, students will attain the following outcomes to be ready to enter professional practice of engineering.

Students can design their own four-course concentration within the major based on their personal academic and professional pursuits. This unique combination of courses works in concert with other co- and extra-curricular activities, including research experiences, internships, and a wide variety of opportunities in our student organizations. Advanced Topics offers the student the flexibility in curriculum choices to grow with their changing interests as they look forward to graduation, graduate school, and their professional endeavors.
Students engage in in-depth study of automotive engineering principles, focusing on vehicle design, propulsion systems, and advanced technologies. They gain hands-on experience through projects, learning to optimize vehicle performance, safety, and efficiency.
Energy in mechanical engineering is the study and application of thermal, electrical, and kinetic energy in the design and operation of mechanical systems. Energy-related projects undertaken by mechanical engineering students include the design of energy-efficient structures, the development of renewable energy systems such as wind and solar power, and the improvement of the energy efficiency of industrial equipment and machinery.
Through focused coursework, students delve into robotics principles, learning about sensors, actuators, control systems, and artificial intelligence. They gain hands-on experience by designing and programming robotic prototypes, honing their skills in solving real-world challenges. The curriculum covers areas like robot kinematics, computer vision, and human-robot interaction.
