Bachelor of Science (BS) in Electrical Engineering
Earn a bachelor of science in Electrical Engineering, be the power behind the machine.
As an electrical engineering student, you'll develop the skills necessary for a wide range of electrical engineering jobs, including design, analysis, and testing of electrical systems. You will study circuit design and simulation, digital signal processing, microcontrollers, digital circuit design, and communication systems. Potential employers include Lockheed Martin, Intel, Texas Instruments, Boeing, IBM, Tesla, Google, Apple, and many others.The program is a blend of theory and practice directed at engineering design, rather than research.
As you progress through the program, more theoretical methods of circuit modeling and computer-aided circuit simulation tools are taught, enabling you to design, build, test and analyze sophisticated circuits and systems. You can keep your engineering education broad-based or specialize in areas such as telecommunications, digital signal processing, integrated circuit design and control theory.
The program provides the essential knowledge to enter into the electrical engineering industry with careers, such as:
- Electrical Engineer - average salary, $75,2191
- Design Engineer - average salary, $67,6071
- Integration Engineer - average salary, $85,4441
