Electrical Engineering Learning Outcomes

Students in the electrical engineering major will be able to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. Students will conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze, and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. Students will apply engineering design to produce ethical solutions that meet specific needs while considering public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, societal, environmental, and economic factors. Students will demonstrate the ability to function effectively on a team on which members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, plan tasks, establish goals, and meet objectives. Students will effectively communicate with a range of audiences and incorporate a faith-based worldview into their profession.

Admissions Criteria

Students may be officially admitted to the major subsequent to passing MAT 201 - Calculus I  with a grade of “C” or better and after a successful interview with the engineering faculty.

Minimum Credits

Students in the electrical engineering program may finish the program with greater or fewer credit hours than the stated total of credit hours in the program, depending on specific variables. For example, course credit allowed to be waived may be deducted from the total number of required credits in the program. However, students must complete the minimum of 120 credits required for graduation.

Transfer Students

Due to course sequencing and program requirements, transfer students into the electrical engineering major may take longer than a cumulative of four years to complete the major, and they may acquire more than 124 credit hours upon graduation.

Program Oversight

The electrical engineering major is overseen by the School of Engineering. Courses with CPS, EGR, MAT, and PHY numbers are administered by this school. Questions about the major should be directed to the school dean.
