What You Will Learn

By completing challenging, fast-paced coursework and collaborating on projects with your peers, this program will prepare you for your role in electrical engineering.

Courses to Prepare You for Your Career

  • Foundation courses include Computing for Engineers, Product Design and Development, Engineering Probability and Statistics, Circuit Theory, Digital Design with HDL and Control Systems.
  • Supporting courses include quantitative chemistry, economics and advanced calculus courses.

Featured Courses

Digital Circuits EE 210

You will explore the theory and design of digital logic circuits, including number systems, Boolean algebra, logic gates, combinational and sequential circuit design and analysis, Karnaugh maps and programmable logic.

Electromagnetics EE 340

You will investigate the principles of electromagnetic (EM) fields and their propagation, power and energy contents, and their properties in guided and unguided structures. The bridge between circuit theory and the EM fields will be illustrated through the detailed treatment of the guided structure, particularly transmission lines, through simulation software (e.g. MATLAB, LABVIEW).

Digital Systems/Embedded Control EE 310

You will gain an understanding of the hardware and software architecture of the AVR Microcontrollers and its applications as you gain experience using real world applications like Arduino.
