Students graduating from the BS CpE degree program will also have a knowledge of computer science and computer engineering topics including advanced logic design, advanced programming, algorithms, computer architecture, data structures, and operating systems.
The department faculty has established a process to periodically review and revise its program educational objectives after obtaining feedback from its primary constituent groups. The faculty also is committed to teaching professional and ethical responsibility by example and by practice. The active sponsored research activities of the faculty ensure the program curriculum remains contemporary and motivates the need for life-long learning.
Technical Electives
Electrical Engineering technical electives provide the student an opportunity to achieve a greater breath of knowledge and some degree of specialization in selected areas of special interest. Electives are offered in computer engineering and the following five electrical engineering application areas:
1. Microelectronics deals with all aspects of (primarily solid-state) electronic devices, the analysis and design of analog and digital circuits, their implementation and fabrication using microelectronic techniques,
and their application in a wide variety of system;
2. Digital signal processing and control systems concentrate on the design and analysis of systems in which discrete and continuous signals are used for conveying information and controlling physical systems
and processes. Included are the encoding, decoding, and representation of information in both the time and frequency domain;
3. Communications is concerned with the preparation, transmission, and reception of encoded information via media ranging from wires to fiber optic cables and space. Included are topics such as AM, FM, and
pulse modulation techniques; telecommunication systems; satellite telemetry; and computer networks;
4. Electromagnetics in the broadest sense is the study of the relationship between electric current, electric and magnetic fields, and their interactions. It is the foundation of electrical and electronic technology.
The practical applications of this theory include the design of antennas, transmission lines, RF, microwave and optical transmission facilities, and radar;
5. Power systems engineering is concerned with the design and operation of electric power generation, transmission, and distribution for an increasing customer demand. It involves the modeling, analysis, and
design of power system components including power transformers, electric motors, synchronous generators, and high voltage power transmission and distribution networks. Power system engineering also
includes: the investigation of alternative methods for generating electrical energy, the control and reliability of complex power networks, power quality, economic factors, and environmental effects.
The department maintains well-equipped, dedicated instructional laboratory facilities for each required laboratory course and research laboratories in each major area of interest. The department has access to a large number of personal computers, advanced workstations, and specialized CAD systems. Open-access facilities are also available for design projects and preparation of technical documentation.
