Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (B.S.E.E.)

Four-Year Plan

Program Statement

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers  a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering (B.S.E.E.) degree and also a concentration in Computer Engineering under the B.S.E.E. degree. The Four Year Plans for the two curriculum are given below.

The program in electrical engineering systematically builds upon the knowledge acquired in basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences to provide the students a broad base in various areas of electrical engineering. The department also offers a concentration in computer engineering under the B.S.E.E. degree. The program offers courses in electrical circuits, linear systems, computer programming, electromagnetic theory, control systems, energy conversion, power systems, electromagnetic theory, communication systems, digital logic design, software engineering, computer structures and microprocessors. The students may further specialize in one among the areas of control systems, communication systems, power systems, or computer engineering through a choice of technical electives.

The Program Educational Objectives (PEO) of the Electrical Engineering (EE) program and the Program Outcomes (PO) are listed.

Engineering Design Experience

    Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision making process (often iterative). The fundamental elements of the design process are the establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, construction, testing and evaluation and should include a variety of realistic constraints, such as economic, environmental, sustainability, manufacturability, ethical, health and safety, social and political factors.

     Engineering design experience is integrated throughout the curriculum starting with definition of engineering and engineering design in ENGR 1011 - Introduction to Engineering II in freshman year where student's creativity and economic analysis skills are developed in a required group design project. Design experience continues in sophomore year with ENGR 2110 - Statics course. In the Junior year, design process and methodology are covered in a required ENGR 3200 Introduction to Design course, that covers development of specifications, realistic constraints and consideration of alternate feasible solutions leading to design projects. During junior and senior years, design experiences are continued through required design projects in EECE 2120 - Circuits II, EECE 3100, 3101 - Design of Digital Logic Systems and Lab., EECE 3300, 3301 - Electronics and Lab., EECE 3410 - Energy Conversion, EECE 3420 - Power Systems, EECE 4000, 4001 - Control Systems I and Lab., EECE 3500 - Communication Systems, EECE 4300 - Digital Computer Structures, EECE 4310 - Software Engineering, EECE 4800 - Introduction to Microprocessors and group design projects in EECE 4101 - Electrical Systems Design Laboratory (100% design) courses. These design experiences lead to a culminating major, meaningful design experience in a required two semester sequence of program specific ENGR 4500, ENGR 4510 - Capstone Design Project I, II courses in the senior year. Students' communication skills are also developed through required written reports in laboratory courses, design project reports, formal oral presentation and bound written report for ENGR 4510 - Capstone Design Project II course. 

The B. S. degree program in Electrical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC of ABET).
