The Electrical Engineering Program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
Electrical engineers design and develop electronic circuits, equipment and systems in the areas of electromagnetics (antennas, radar, radio, and television systems), communications (telephone systems, satellite communications, laser and optical fiber communications, aircraft and missile guidance systems), computers and digital systems (computers, microprocessors, and microcomputers, artificial intelligence), physical electronics and optics (transistors, integrated circuits, optical display devices, lasers, optical fibers), power systems and energy conversion (electric power generation, analysis and synthesis of power transmission and distribution protection systems design, on-line power control protection systems design), and control systems (computer control, robotics, automated manufacturing, intelligent sensors). Hands-on experiences are emphasized and gained through laboratory work and design projects.
