Electrical Engineering faculty members pursue a "customer-focussed" approach to higher education where the needs, the interests and the career goals of individual students are our primary concern. While we provide a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of EE, we also provide our students with practical instruction in the realities of the work place. This we do through our "Real World" seminar series. In addition to academic pursuit, EE department faculty members keep their skills and knowledge current through research, summer employment, and consultation with industry and government agencies.

In general, undergraduate students of this department have the common goal of graduating in four years. While some students take longer than that, it is very possible and common to achieve this goal, only zeal and consistency are required!

Students programming in the microprocessors lab

We have four elective branches: 1. Controls and Systems, 2. Electronics and Electronic Materials, 3. Telecommunications and Computer Networking, and 4. Power Systems and Machines. To pursue your area of specialization, please get advised by your advisor (a faculty member). We encourage you to prepare for your coursework by joining study groups, taking tutorial lessons from the retention center, and taking advantage of the office hours of your instructors. Our goal is to produce graduates who are able to excel in the industry or in graduate school, and by your commitment and interest, you can be one.

The departments primary offices and laboratories are located on the fourth floor of the new state of the art engineering complex, the PBS Pinchback Hall. The department maintains additional classrooms and laboratories in James B. Moore Hall. We encourage personal visits and invite prospective students and other interested parties to contact our office to make arrangements.
