Undergraduate Programs in the Department
Undergraduate work in the department leads to the Bachelor of Science degree in one of the following three disciplines:
Electrical Engineering
Since electrical instrumentation is at the heart of modern science and
technology, electrical engineers are employed not only in the
computer, electronics, communications, and power industries, but also
in diverse enterprises such as transportation, the chemical industry,
large hospitals, and government laboratories.
Computer Engineering
Digital computer and communication systems have transformed society in
a profound way. The examples range from super powerful scientific
computers, the Internet and the World Wide Web, to cell phones and
smart cards. Computer engineering is a discipline that combines
both electrical engineering and computer science.
Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary area in which
engineering techniques are applied to problem solving in the life
sciences and medicine. Biomedical engineers design medical instruments
for diagnosis and the treatment of various diseases as well as for
research in biology.
Advising
The department maintains an advising system to
ensure students have the information they need to make sound choices
to achieve their professional goals.
The individual curricula are designed to meet the
requirements of the Accreditation Board
for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and can be completed over 4
years of full-time study.
Individual program requirements can be found
through the links above.
International Engineering
Program
The International Engineering Program
(IEP) can be combined with any of the above engineering programs, and
leads to degrees in both engineering
and German,
French, Spanish
or Chinese.
In the fourth year of the five-year program, students go abroad
as interns
with engineering firms in Europe, Latin America, or China.
Mailing List
The department maintains a mailing list where information relevant to
the undergraduate programs in the department is sent. All
undergraduate students should subscribe to the list with their
preferred email. An archive of this list is
available here.
