The Electrical Engineering (B.S.) program holds accreditation from ABET's Engineering Accreditation Commission, accessible at https://www.abet.org [abet.org], meeting both the General Criteria and the specific Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s), and related Engineering Programs.
Electrical Engineering is a broad and growing discipline that encompasses key areas such as: digital signal processing, semiconductor electronics, microprocessors and embedded systems, VLSI design, cyber-physical systems, data communications, energy systems and power electronics, transmission and distribution, RF and microwave technologies, robotics and control system design, electromechanics and mechatronics, computer networks, digital design, image processing, and computer vision. While computer science focuses on information processing within computer engineering, electrical engineering builds on the core principles of electricity and magnetism. Electrical engineers frequently collaborate with other engineers, physical scientists, and computer scientists.
In Fall 2008, the Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department relocated to a new facility. The department manages its own local area network, featuring multiple Unix/Linux servers, two software programming labs, a walk-in lab and tutoring center, an advanced workstation lab, an isolated network lab, an AI and visualization lab, a DSP and communications lab, a digital electronics hardware lab, a power systems and electronics lab, and a robotics and control systems lab. Additionally, a department library and major study room with computers is available for student use.
