The Electrical Engineering Department has a very active student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, open to all electrical engineering students. In addition, there is an upper-class honorary society, Eta Kappa Nu. These student groups sponsor lectures, workshops, field trips and social events for students and faculty, as well as provide service to the department. Each year the Electrical Engineering Department awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to undergraduate students. To be considered for any scholarship, students must annually complete the Upperclass Scholarship Application located in the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid by February 1st.
Graduate students are eligible for teaching and research assistantships through the department.
In addition, you must either rank in the top half of your high school class, or have an ACT composite score of at least 24, or an SAT total score of at least 1110. Students who do not meet requirements should contact the college to discuss alternatives for working toward their degree while clearing admission deficiencies.
