Liberal Arts: Electrical Engineering Major

All undergraduate students must complete 40 credits in General Education. Designed to foster well-educated critical thinkers and global citizens, the program foresees required and elective courses in writing, mathematics and analytics, science, foreign languages, arts and humanities, and the social sciences. Through these courses, students enhance their self-awareness, academic and problem-solving skills, civic awareness, and intercultural knowledge. The General Education program exposes students to a range of disciplines in the Arts and Sciences, which can serve as a context for their studies in their discipline. In addition, the program, and in general, the whole of the University’s undergraduate program, strives to enhance students’ appreciation of the diversity of cultural, ethnic, and professional settings in which they may live and work in the future. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a major in Electrical Engineering takes a balanced approach that cultivates technical knowledge and competencies as well as professional, interpersonal, and team-building skills. The program is revised each year in light of emerging technologies and supported by dedicated labs for specific knowledge areas.

Program strengths include the following: Concentrations in Electric Energy Systems, Electronic Circuits, and Automated Systems Control. A flexible class schedule, with afternoon, evening, and e-learning courses to accommodate students’ work schedules. There are opportunities to take part in student exchange programs with Engineering departments at other American colleges and universities. Opportunities to participate in faculty-student research projects; a chance to intern with companies during senior year. An opportunity to complete the capstone project in collaboration with an ongoing company project. Faculty mentoring and personal support for academic and professional development.
