Electrical Engineering

Overview

Electrical engineers design the enabling technology for modern telecommunications networks, including the Internet, biomedical instrumentation, and electromagnetic applications. The program focuses on signal processing; communication theory and practice; voice, data, video and multimedia communication networks; very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuit design and applications; and control systems. Students can take electives in advanced topics, such as optical networks, broadband wireless networks, and technologies for the next generation of information systems.


Educational Objectives

  • To teach the students how to analyze and implement complex interdisciplinary engineering projects;
  • To give students a strong foundation for graduate studies in the field of Electrical Engineering;
  • To prepare the students for competitive and challenging industrial applications;
  • To teach students how to use state-of-the-art computer tools for solving electrical engineering problems;
  • To expose students to hands-on engineering experience through laboratory courses;
  • To cultivate the ability of the students to communicate and work effectively in teams;
  • To help students develop an understanding of the ethical issues and global perspectives arising in the practice of the engineering profession.

Biomedical Engineering

Overview

The Biomedical Engineering Program is designed to ensure that each student develops a strong educational foundation in the basic sciences, as well as in the theory and practice of biomedical engineering. Our goal is that each graduate of our program has sufficient breadth and depth of experience in biomedical engineering, which is reflected by the capacity to work in industry or a federal laboratory, or pursue post-baccalaureate education in engineering, medicine, or other professions. There are several defined tracks in the Biomedical Engineering Program including bioinformatics, telemedicine, instrumentation, biomechanics, and premed. Other courses of study can also be developed for specific interests. This program also includes paid research experiences for the students during the summers after their sophomore and junior years.


Educational Objectives

  • To teach students how to analyze and implement practical solutions for complex interdisciplinary engineering problems derived from medicine and biology;
  • To give students a strong motivation and foundation for graduate studies and life-long learning in the field of biomedical engineering, medicine, or related disciplines;
  • To prepare the students for competitive and challenging industrial applications;
  • To teach students how to use state-of-the-art computer tools to solve biomedical and electrical engineering problems;
  • To provide students with hands-on engineering experience through laboratory courses, design and research projects, and opportunities in industry and government laboratories;
  • To cultivate the ability of the students to communicate and work effectively in teams;
  • To help students develop an understanding of the multifaceted ethical issues and global perspectives arising in the practice of biomedical engineering;
