BS in Electrical Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering was developed with industry guidance to address the broad, foundational knowledge and skills required to be contributors as electrical engineers, electronics engineers, electrical design engineers, project engineers, controls engineers, test engineers, hardware design engineers, communications engineers, circuits engineers or sales engineers. This program teaches topics and assesses competency in circuits, analog and digital electronics, electromagnetic fields, optics, signal processing, communications, computer design, power, and controls.

This program integrates math, chemistry, physics and biology and emphasizes critical thinking, real-world application and practical project management project experience. In addition, students develop valuable workplace skills, including effective communication, teamwork, initiative, strong work ethic, analytical skills, adaptability and self-confidence. Students learn professional and ethical practices associated with engineering through the lens of the University’s Christian worldview.
