This page was last updated Thursday, August 15, 1996. The Electrical Engineering program at UCR is one of the newest in the country. The curriculum is accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology. It reflects the latest significant technological advancements and is supported by well-equipped laboratories with the most advanced equipment.
Faculty are world-class educators and researchers dedicated to undergraduate teaching.
Two features of the undergraduate program are small class size with close faculty-student interaction, and research opportunities for undergraduates. During their freshman year, all engineering students follow a generally common curriculum, and do not specify an engineering major. By the beginning of the sophomore year, students select their engineering major and begin appropriate course work. Students enrolled in community college pre-engineering programs are expected to complete the equivalent of the first two years of UCR's course work for engineering majors and to demonstrate strength in calculus, chemistry, and physics. The Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering provides special advisory services to aid community college transfer students in formulating their program and in remedying any deficiencies in required course work.
