The Electrical Engineering program gives students a broad knowledge of the math, physics, electronics, and power concepts necessary for a career in the discipline.  Students will become familiar with topics such as electronics, electromechanical systems, embedded systems, power electronics, micro and nanoelectronics, microwave engineering, optoelectronics, semiconductor devices, photonics, photovoltaics, solar power, biomedical devices, microelectromechanical systems, internet of things, laser, RF/analog/digital circuit design, radar, robotics, sensors, signal processing, control, software development, machine learning, cyber-physical security, artificial intelligence, and vehicle technology. Students develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills throughout their studies. In addition, they develop an ability to apply their knowledge of mathematics, science, and general engineering to address technical issues.

Graduates with an Electrical Engineering BS degree commonly begin their careers in a variety of functions including: power generation, management, and distribution engineers; analog electronics designers; digital hardware designers; printed circuit board designers; and embedded hardware and software developers. Graduates often work in a wide range of industries including aerospace, defense/military, automotive, medical, software, semiconductors, and consumer electronics. These graduates also pursue post-graduate degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Business & Commerce, and even professional areas such as Law and Medicine.
