Related programs in electrical engineering technology normally apply engineering methods and technical skills, emphasizing the development of hands-on skills. The BSEE degree requires 128 credits of course work, which normally can be completed in four years, including two summers. Students may complete the entire program at FAU or may transfer credits from another institution. Students interested in the Electrical Engineering major should discuss their proposed program with departmental advisors to be sure that courses are being taken in the proper sequence. The program culminates in a senior project in which the student proposes, designs, constructs, tests and presents a project which is based on the materials covered in engineering courses.
Many students list their senior project topic on their resume.
