Senior Design Project
This program requires a Senior Design capstone project, to be completed in your last two semesters.
During this two-semester course, you will be mentored by faculty and industry leaders as you work to address and solve real-world engineering problems. Using your newly learned skills, you will undertake product design, implementation and budgeting as part of a team.
Tracks
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering offers two optional tracks if you are interested in pursuing a future career in medicine or physics.
Both tracks build upon the foundational Electrical Engineering curriculum, adding track-specific concentrations for further immersion in your field of choice.
Pre-Medical Track
The Pre-Medical track is designed for students with dual interests in Electrical Engineering and the field of medicine.
Physics Track
The Physics track is designed for students with dual interests in Electrical Engineering and physics.
