Undergraduate Degree in Electrical Engineering

Undergraduate Program

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering

The bachelor of science in electrical engineering is built on fundamental concepts of circuits, electronics, devices, signal processing, controls, electromagnetics and power. Ample opportunity is available to explore these areas in more detail in upper level electives, as well as during hands-on experience in labs and design teams.

Our bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering consists of 128 credit hours. As a freshman, you will be admitted into the Freshman Engineering Program (FEP), but you can choose an electrical engineering preference. If you choose this route, you may qualify for freshmen scholarships within the department. You will be admitted to the electrical engineering program after completing the freshman year requirements.

As an engineering freshman, you'll work toward completing common freshman year courses while acquiring information to help you determine a major and career. During the first two or three semesters on campus, you will take a set of courses that are required by all engineering departments. After successfully completing the freshman engineering requirements, you'll formally apply for admission to the electrical engineering department. Admission is nearly automatic if you've completed these requirements.

Minors and Emphasis Areas

Our one minor and seven different emphasis areas help you focus on your interests and career goals. Complete 15 credit hours of approved courses to establish a minor and/or at least three (3 credit hour courses) with one of those courses being a 4000 level course in that area to complete an emphasis.

Automation engineering is cross-disciplinary between chemical engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering and involves controlling a manufacturing process. This minor is of interest to many companies involved in the manufacturing of a wide range of products including food, beverage, chemicals, petro-chemicals, steel, aluminum, tires, automobiles, and semiconductors.
