The
mission of the department is to provide students
with a strong foundation in the traditional
and
contemporary areas of electrical engineering.
The objective of the undergraduate program
is to educate students in science and engineering
so that they can identify and solve technological
problems in society. Social and humanistic
issues
are also emphasized in the general education
component of the program to provide breadth
in education. The program provides graduates
with
the knowledge, aptitudes, and attitudes which
prepare them for corporate and government entry-level
positions or to pursue further education at
the graduate level.
The
department has the following educational
objectives:
- Provide
students with a strong foundation
in the traditional and contemporary areas
of electrical engineering.
- Educate
students in science and engineering
so that they can identify, understand,
and solve technological problems in society.
- Provide
students with the knowledge and
opportunity which prepare them
for practice
or to pursue
further education at the
graduate level.
- Provide
students with breadth of knowledge
in social and humanitarian
issues.
- Maintain
a nationally competitive
electrical engineering program.
The department
is committed to fostering a close student-faculty
educational environment
which
facilitates self-development, self-confidence,
and competence. This commitment extends
to providing an excellent undergraduate
electrical
engineering
program that en- compasses both breadth
and depth. The technical and liberal
arts components
of
the curriculum provide the students
with the opportunity for self-development,
technical
competence,
and awareness of economic and ethical
responsibilities. The technical curriculum
includes: (1)
basic engineering science; (2)
traditional electrical
engineering areas, such as circuits,
analog/digital electronics, electric energy
conversion, control systems, computer-aided design,
and electromagnetic
fields; and
(3) electives, by which junior and
senior-level students may
select courses with a focus on a particular
subject, or related subjects, in electrical
engineering.
These areas of concentration include
systems engineering, power systems
planning and
distribution,
signal processing, controls and robotics,
digital design, and applied electromagnetics.
To prepare students for engineering
practice, design and hands-on experience
are emphasized
throughout the curriculum and supported
by diverse laboratory facilities to
implement design ideas.
Students are introduced to subject
related design tools in several required
and elective
courses
in preparation for a major senior design
experience. Every student is required
to complete a comprehensive
design project. Computer applications,
statistical
methods, and written/oral/interpersonal
communication skills are also emphasized
in the curriculum.
Cooperative education is encouraged
as a vehicle for enhancing students’ communication
and interpersonal skills, in addition to
establishing an awareness of industrial
practices and technical
development. Opportunities to enhance teamwork,
written and oral communication, and self-learning
skills are available across the curriculum.
Students
are encouraged to promote the profession
and develop leadership skills through involvement
in honorary and professional societies,
as
well as participation in laboratory and
design project
activities.
The department has a strong student
advising program, which facilitates
individual contact
with students to help them make sound
academic decisions and to understand
the purpose
of their education and the profession.
Through
this program,
students and faculty establish personal
relationships and enthusiasm toward
engineering education.
To allow qualified students to complete
a graduate degree in one year, beyond
that required to receive
the baccalaureate degree alone, the
department offers combined Bachelor
of Science in
Electrical
Engineering (BSEE)/Master of Science
(with a major in Electrical Engineering)
and
BSEE/Master of Engineering degrees.
See Combined Degree Program under the
School of Engineering and Mines for
additional
details.
In addition to the traditional broad
electrical engineering program, the
department makes
two focus areas available to students
with interest
in Aerospace or Computer Science. All
three programs are listed in their
entirety as
follows:
