Course summary

This program is concerned with analysis and design of modern electronic systems, devices and signals for a broad range of applications such as wireless or network communication, electrical power and control and multimedia information technology. The electrical engineering curriculum provides a wide background in the fundamental theory of electrical engineering and in the mathematical and scientific tools necessary for an electrical engineer to meet the current and future challenges of a professional career. The field of electrical engineering is currently evolving at a rapid pace since it has a major role in the accelerated growth of the technological world. This requires the modern electrical engineer not only to have a sound basis in the fundamental principles but also to have the capacity to learn and assimilate novel advances as soon as they materialize. These qualities are anticipated in the curriculum, which includes not only a sound theoretical background but also offers a variety of courses that develop the student's ability to gain knowledge autonomously and to combine it with contemporary design techniques. Courses are in diverse areas such as signal processing, power electronics, communications, optical and electromagnetic technologies, control systems, integrated circuits, multimedia networks, and image analysis.

Entry requirement for international students

Students must be at least 16 years of age and be a graduate of an accredited high school or submit passing scores on the General Educational Development Test (GED). They must complete the American College Test (ACT) or the College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or Scholastic Assessment Test I (SAT-I) and present a satisfactory combination of class rank and test scores. They must satisfy the high school subject pattern that includes English, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, lab science, social science, electives and flexible academic units. Applicants from countries where the official language of the country is not English must have the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 520 on paper-based or 190 on computer-based is required for admission.
