Electrical engineering is concerned with applying the scientific principles governing electrical phenomena to generate, distribute, and control electric energy. Applications range from the design of microscopic computer circuits to the development of huge electric generating facilities.
The electrical engineering graduate is at the forefront of the technology leading to the dramatic increase in global communications, the accelerated use of electric power, the dominating influence of the computer on modern society, and a host of other developments. The increased use of electronic equipment for measurement and control has spread into such diverse areas as improved health care, transportation, recreation, agricultural production, marketing, manufacturing, and countless others. This wide-spread and expanding use of electronic equipment in virtually all fields has made electrical engineering the largest of all scientific disciplines and assures a continuing demand for electrical engineering graduates throughout business and government.
The electrical engineering curriculum is designed to provide students with a knowledge of scientific principles and methods of engineering analysis to form a solid foundation for a career in design, research and development, or management. Students progressively build their design experience throughout the curriculum and demonstrate this ability in the senior design lab. Equally important, the curriculum introduces students to subjects in the humanities, social sciences, and ethics so they may better understand the interaction of technology and society.
The electrical engineering curriculum is designed to offer a high quality course of instruction involving classroom, laboratory, and extracurricular activities that will result in professionals qualified and prepared to meet the demands of a career in the present and future engineering workplace, and able to assume a responsible place of leadership in a complex technological society.
General goals are to:
1. instill a knowledge of how to learn and a desire to learn in a wide range of areas both technical and non-technical, over the course of a lifetime;
2. include all of the necessary fundamentals while excluding redundant material, and
3. be sufficiently broad and flexible to prepare students for entry into engineering, as well as non-engineering professions and graduate school.
Specific objectives of the electrical engineering program are to:
1. continue to attract, develop, and retain high quality students;
2. maintain an undergraduate curriculum which is coherent and relevant to the existing technical and socioeconomic environment so that every student obtains:
(a) a strong foundation in the basic physical and mathematical sciences,
(b) a strong foundation in the principles and practices of electrical engineering,
(c) an understanding of the ethical standards expected of practitioners of the profession of electrical engineering, and
(d) a basic knowledge of the social issues in today's society and an understanding of the social responsibilities of electrical engineers.
3. provide an environment, infrastructure, and resources sufficient to support a high quality undergraduate program;
4. maintain, develop, and retain a high quality, diverse faculty who exhibit outstanding teaching and teaching innovation;
5. maintain, develop, and retain a high quality support staff.
The electrical engineering curriculum is divided into three phases. The first year is the pre-professional curriculum which concentrates on development of a sound understanding of basic science and mathematics. Due to the crucial importance of this foundation material to the study of electrical engineering, satisfactory completion of the pre-professional curriculum is required prior to admission to entry-level electrical engineering courses. The second- and third-year course work further develops scientific principles and covers the basic core of the professional curriculum in electrical engineering. The fourth year is composed primarily of senior-level elective courses. At this time, the student in conjunction with his or her adviser may plan a program to concentrate in one or more of the technical specializations within electrical engineering. This final year permits the student to tailor a program suited to his or her individual career objectives.
The graduation requirement in electrical engineering is 126 semester hours. The full curriculum follows, with the number of credit hours at the left preceding the course numbers and titles:

Degree Program Changes
Students must meet all requirements of their degree programs and are
expected to keep themselves informed concerning current regulations, policies,
and program requirements in their fields of study. Changes made in curriculum
at a level beyond that at which a student is enrolled may become graduation
requirements for that student. Changes made in the curriculum at a level
lower than the one at which a student is enrolled are not normally required
for that student. Students should consult their departmental adviser for
additional
information.
Recommended Technical Studies
Each student in electrical engineering is required to complete 15 semester hours of technical electives. A minimum of 9 semester hours of these courses must be 4000- or 5000-level electrical engineering elective courses. Students may select the remaining six semester hours from upper division technical courses in electical engineering, mathematics, engineering, and the sciences with the approval of their adviser. Not more than six semester hours total in ELEG 488V and ELEG 489V may be credited toward technical electives.
