B.S. in Electrical Engineering (EENG)

About

A three year program with the purpose of producing competent engineers who are highly trained in electrical engineering to meet the needs of a continuously expanding industrial society. The undergraduate program prepares students with expertise in electrical engineering and technology through theoretical and hands on practices. The EENG courses deal with topics such as electrical circuits and systems, electronics, Electric machines, power systems, microprocessors, control systems,  and digital signal processing.

Program Objectives 

The objective of the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Program is to prepare students to be successful in pursuing a professional career and/or advance into graduate studies. To reach the sought goals, the program helps graduates to attain the following objectives:

1. Fundamental: Graduates of the program will be skilled in the fundamental concepts of Electrical and Electronics Engineering necessary for success in industry or graduate studies.

2. Specialization: Graduates of the program will be prepared to pursue career choices in electrical and electronic engineering, or related interdisciplinary fields that benefit from a strong background in applied sciences or engineering. Also, graduates of the program will be prepared with problem solving skills, laboratory skills, and design skills for technical careers.

3. Self-Learning: Graduates of the program will be prepared to continue their professional development through continuing education and personal development experiences based on their awareness of library resources and professional societies, journals, and meetings.
