Content: In the 21st century, the discipline of electrical engineering continues to be one of the primary drivers of change and progress in technology and standards of living around the globe. ABET accreditation: Program educational objectives and outcomes
The Importance of the First Year ECE Experience
First-year students take ECE 110, Introduction to Electronics, a three-credit-hour class combining theory, laboratory measurement, and design. Not only do beginning students get a substantive course in their major, they also gain a better appreciation for the basic science and mathematics courses that are taken during the first two years of study. Students gain first-hand experience in the activities of a professional electrical/computer engineer and are better able to make the important decision as to whether they have chosen the major best suited to them. Intellectual Content of the EE Curriculum
Student involvement in the EE discipline increases during each year of the program. Most of the core electrical engineering courses are taken in the fourth and fifth semesters. During the last three semesters, the student chooses electives to define a curriculum to meet specific educational and career needs. The electrical engineering core curriculum focuses on fundamental electrical engineering knowledge: circuits ( ECE 110 ), systems ( ECE 210 ), electromagnetics ( ECE 329 ), semiconductor devices ( ECE 340 ), computer engineering ( ECE 120, ECE 220, ECE 385 ), and design ( ECE 445 ).
