Electrical Engineering

Overview

Faculty members are engaged in research areas that complement the academic program such as: space sciences; sensor networks; robotics; remote sensing; software-defined radios; advanced electronics; advanced analytical tool development for biomedical and seismic signals; which lead to the development of engineering and scientific instrumentation.

This degree program is ideal for students who are interested in pursuing public and private sector positions in electrical engineering or advancing to a PhD degree.

The faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering strives to continuously improve the graduate program in electrical engineering. The educational objectives reflect the needs of, and have been reviewed by, among others, the Advisory Board and faculty. Several years after graduation it is expected that our graduates will be:

• technology leaders who fearlessly discover, apply and teach new knowledge and engineering practices;
• entrepreneurially minded innovators driving positive economic and social impact in their communities and the nation;

• adaptive learners who continue to grow educationally and professionally through advancing their education.

• an ability to apply methods of advanced analysis appropriate for professionals to use when solving problems;
• an ability to apply an in‐depth knowledge in a particular field of study that supports the use of innovative techniques to solve problems;
• an ability to demonstrate skills pertinent to the research process, including the ability to formulate problems, synthesize and integrate information, work collaboratively, communicate effectively, and publish results (MS thesis students).
