The electrical engineering undergraduate degree program seeks to produce graduates who are trained in the theory and practice of electrical and computer engineering and are well prepared to handle the professional and leadership challenges of their careers. The program allows students to specialize in high performance and embedded computing, microelectronics and nanotechnology, power and energy, signal processing and communications, high frequency circuits and fields, and control systems, among others. The objective of the electrical engineering degree program is to prepare students for success as practicing engineers engaged in life-long learning and serving in leadership roles in their chosen career path. Specifically, within five years of graduation, the electrical engineering degree program will prepare graduates to: β’ Establish themselves as practicing professionals meeting or exceeding the expectations of their employers. β’ Continue their professional development or pursue formal education to earn advanced degrees and/or certifications. β’ Demonstrateleadershipintheirprofessional endeavors and/or in their communities. The electrical engineering undergraduate program has identified curriculum tracks as recommended groups of courses for undergraduate students interested in a particular area of electrical engineering. Each track consists of a list of three recommended electives (typically EE Technical Electives) and possibly a recommended lab elective.
