B.S. in Electrical Engineering - Lasers and Optical Engineering Concentration

USA

1

What will I learn?

From cancer detection to faster computing, lasers and optics improve today's world. Electrical engineering students are prepared for success in today's high-tech world through stimulating coursework and unique hands-on projects. They will learn a new way of thinking that teaches the importance of creativity and innovation in solving complex societal problems.

Lasers and Optics students will experience the benefits of a smaller department with top-tier faculty, while enjoying the perks of a large university. Electrical and computer engineering (ECE) courses and research span a range of disciplines that include:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Communications and Signal Processing
  • Computer Engineering
  • Controls and Robotics
  • Electromagnetics and Remote Sensing
  • Lasers and Photonics

Career Opportunities

A field of endless possibilities, electrical engineering career paths are largely dependent on personal interests. Electrical engineering alumni hold positions ranging from a designer at a start-up company to a research scientist for the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. In addition to being one of the most lucrative college majors, for the past decade electrical engineering has ranked among the top 10 majors in demand for bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Almost every industry recruits electrical engineering graduates, such as aerospace, biomedical, energy, robotics, manufacturing, and automotive.

Program Objectives and Outcomes

The ECE program educational objectives are designed and implemented around the following three principal attributes: mastery, innovation, and leadership.

Graduates of the ECE program will be able to:

Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics

Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors

Communicate effectively with a range of audiences

Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts

Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives

Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions

Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
