The electrical engineering educational experience starts in the freshman introductory courses, ELEC 104 and ELEC 105, with team case studies that require the communication of creative ideas.
Theory is combined with application, demonstration, and experimental verification.
Engineering design emphasis among these courses has been determined by the experience and best judgment of the department faculty. This course is scheduled in the first semester of the junior year. The senior year provides depth in electrical engineering by requiring five out of an available ten 400-level electrical engineering elective courses taught within the department. These electives provide the student the opportunity to pursue an area of interest. Narrow specialization is not possible.
