The Electrical Engineering Department provides instruction and research in areas of electrical and computer engineering such as electronics, microelectronics, optoelectronics, power systems, control theory, digital systems, and communications. A six-semester sequence of courses emphasizing circuits electronics and systems forms the core of the curriculum. These courses are designed to develop the concepts, design and analysis techniques fundamental to the various areas of specializations.
Emphasis is placed on the utilization of computers throughout the curriculum.
The curriculum requirements are flexible enough to enable a student to synthesize a program of study to achieve his or her particular objectives and degree of specialization. This is done through the use of the technical electives, with the guidance and approval of the student's academic adviser. If further specialization in a particular area is desired, the student may be encouraged to seek an advanced degree. Graduate studies in electronics, microelectronics, optoelectronics, computer engineering, signal processing, communications, and power and control systems are offered by the department at the master's level. The department offers a doctoral degree with emphasis in microelectronics, optoelectronics, and computer engineering.
