EE/CmpE Program Objectives

The Electrical Engineering curriculum provides a broad education in the fundamentals of electrical engineering. Students may pursue a general program or specialize in bioengineering, circuits, communications and signal processing, computer engineering, energy sources and systems, fields and optics, solid state devices, or systems and controls. The Computer Engineering curriculum provides fundamentals of computer engineering. Graduates of this program gain the knowledge to design, analyze, and build computer systems. Students may pursue a general program or specialize in artificial intelligence, computer architecture, software systems, or VLSI design.

EET Program Objectives

The curriculum of the Department of Electrical Engineering Technology focuses upon the application of engineering principles and techniques to a wide variety of electrical and electronic devices, circuitry, instrumentation, and manufacturing operations. After receiving a strong technical background, EET students can increase their competence and expertise in areas such as automated testing, biomedical electronics, controls, microprocessors, power systems, computer/digital electronics, instrumentation, and communications.

ME Program Objectives

The Mechanical Engineering program provides a broad-based education, with concentration on fundamentals and basic laws as the major tools requisite for the professional practice of mechanical engineering. The goal of the program is to educate engineers who can think, analyze, design, and solve problems. An extensive range of technical electives allows in-depth preparation in specialized areas of mechanical, electrical, and thermal systems.

MET Program Objectives

The Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology offers a curriculum focused upon the application of scientific and engineering principles to manufacturing, manufacturing, processes, product development, maintenance, fluid power, energy, quality control, materials, and cost analysis.
