Degree Programs
The Department offers a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (B.S.E.E.) degree and a Bachelor of Science in Computer
Engineering (B.S.Cp.E.) degree. An eight-semester sequence of courses that is designed to develop the concepts and design and
analysis techniques fundamental to the various areas of specializations forms the core of the academic plans of study. Emphasis
is placed on the utilization of computers throughout the curricula. Our graduates have a wide range of job opportunities as
power engineers, communication engineers, digital design engineers, test engineers, embedded system developers, network
engineers, control engineers, project engineers, robotic system engineers, optoelectronic engineers, application engineers,
analog engineers, medical product engineers, and process engineers.
Graduate studies in electronics, embedded systems, microelectronics, optoelectronics, computer engineering, VLSI design and
testing, signal processing, data communications and networking, power electronics, power systems, and control systems are
offered by the Department at the Master's and Ph.D. levels.

Accreditation
Both the program in Electrical Engineering and the program in Computer Engineering are accredited by the Engineering
Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
