Electrical Engineering Concentration

Engineering (Bachelor of Science Engineering) 

Electrical Engineering Concentration

Students pursuing the Engineering (Bachelor of Science Engineering) degree take a common set of foundational courses in math and science in addition to engineering courses such as first-year design, senior design, statics & strength of materials, circuits, thermodynamics, fluids, and engineering economics.  The Electrical Engineering Concentration includes a focus on electronics, embedded systems, linear systems, electromagnetic theory, signal processing, controls, automation, and digital system design. Paired with a solid engineering core and hands-on project-based approach, the Electrical Engineering Concentration prepares graduates for a variety of job opportunities upon graduation.
