Our ABET-accredited undergraduate program in Electrical Engineering is distinguished by three attributes. First, through foundational courses it will develop a core skill set that can be applied to not only problems in electrical engineering but to other engineering areas, business, etc.. Second, the program has a significant hands-on component through laboratory and design experiences that enable you to apply what is learned in classroom. Finally, the program allows students ample opportunity to explore their own unique interests, as the curriculum is designed to accommodate a great number of technical electives.
