Bachelor of Engineering, Engineering: Electrical Engineering

The Bachelor of Engineering, Engineering: Electrical Engineering program focuses on the theories, practices, competencies, tools, and technologies associated with electrical engineering. You will get both online classroom instruction and hands-on lab experience to help prepare you as an electrical engineer. This Bachelor of Engineering, Engineering: Electrical Engineering provides knowledge and skills that are often required in fields including aerospace, telecommunications, defense, automotive, medical, construction, chemical, and more.

This program is not designed to prepare graduates for any state-issued professional license or certification and therefore has not been approved by any state professional licensing agency.

For admission to the Bachelor of Engineering, Engineering: Electrical Engineering program applicants must have completed preparation in mathematics equivalent to pre-calculus or higher.

The goal of the Bachelor of Engineering, Engineering: Electrical Engineering program is to provide our students with a sound Engineering education which they can apply in a variety of contexts. Specifically, in three to seven years after graduation, we expect that graduates of our program will demonstrate the following:

Program Educational Objectives

1. Utilize the critical and systemic thinking skills, and technical and professional competencies, acquired through their education.
2. Create value for society through the ethical practice of their professional abilities in developing solutions to technical and societal challenges.
3. Continue to increase their knowledge and competence through self-development or formal schooling.

Courses in the Bachelor of Engineering, Engineering: Electrical Engineering include foundations in math, computer science, and physical sciences. Course topics include:

• Essential elements of analog circuit design
• Fundamentals of circuit analysis - Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s law, etc.
• International System of Units
• Digital and logic circuit analysis and design in 6 main parts
• Energy conversion and transport
• Electromagnetic field theory
• Passive microwave circuit analysis and design
• Radar and RF signal propagation, transmission, and reception

Note: At-home lab exercises require you to purchase additional course materials which are estimated to be up to $8,000. These materials are not covered by the university undergraduate book grant.

Degree Program Objectives

In addition to the institutional and degree level learning objectives, graduates of this program are expected to achieve these student outcomes:

Student Outcomes

• an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
• an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
• an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
• an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
• an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
• an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
• an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
