ACADEMIC
PROGRAMS
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING (B.S.E.E.)
The Electrical Engineering degree program has three options:
- Electrical Engineering Option
- Audio Engineering Option
- Wireless Communication Option
All of these three options require specialized courses as
well as the 49 Engineering Credit Hours required in the accredited
Electrical Engineering degree program.
Electrical Engineering is concerned
with the design, analysis and implementation of a variety
of systems, components and devices, primarily of an electrical
or electronic nature, which form the cornerstone of our complex
and technologically oriented society. This ranges from small-scale
integrated electronics and photonics systems and devices,
the technological drivers of the information technology revolution,
to large-scale electrical power systems and power generators,
which supply the nation's energy needs and form the basis
for sustained economic growth. Electrical engineering is a
rapidly changing discipline. To adequately train students
to meet the challenges of the future and to assume leadership
roles in the practice of electrical engineering, the department
has in place a modern curriculum that reflects best practices
in the industries we serve and is constantly updated to incorporate
new technological, scientific and economic developments. The
curriculum in the first two years provides a thorough background
and in-depth preparation in the physical and mathematical
sciences as well as fundamental knowledge and exposure to
basic engineering principles and computer programming techniques.
Students then concentrate on electrical engineering courses
in their junior and senior years. Because of the overwhelming
computer-oriented nature of modern electrical and electronic
systems, students in electrical engineering are also expected
to take courses in computer hardware and software and to incorporate
this knowledge into a variety of design experiences offered.
Audio Engineering was developed
with support from the School of Music in response to the need
for industry professionals with the theoretical knowledge
and the analytical, technical and design skills, which can
only be acquired in a formal engineering degree. The Audio
Engineering option combines traditional electrical engineering
studies with audio studies in areas such as acoustics, digital
audio, transducers, signal processing, post production, and
recording. Our Audio Engineering graduates are highly sought
by industry and have been pursuing successful careers in music/entertainment
and the telecommunications industries, in the analog and digital
electronics industry, and in the hearing aid/medical instrumentation
industry, or have chosen to pursue graduate degrees. Students
enrolled in Audio Engineering have access to a variety of
well-equipped laboratories, At the College of Engineering
the students are expected to be involved in laboratories of
electronics, computing, digital design, signal processing,
and audio and speech processing. At the School of Music students
have access to the Gusman Concert Hall, which houses a professional
recording studio with automated console and multi-track recording.
There, students can record live concerts ranging from small
jazz groups to a symphony orchestra. In addition, Audio Engineering
students use the Weeks Center for Recording and Performance,
which also features a fully professional recording studio,
analog and digital signal processing equipment and audio test
equipment.
Wireless Communication was recently
added to meet the growing need in wireless communications
and networking. The option provides a solid background in
