Electrical Engineering: Bachelor of Science
Program Description
The electrical engineering program, which is accredited by EAC of ABET, combines topics from science, math and engineering in order to study and develop solutions to electrical and computer problems. The program contains a strong laboratory emphasis with plenty of opportunities to work on real electrical systems. Some of the program highlights are:
- The teaching emphasis is on preparing you to solve real-world problems.
- You have three choices for fulfillment of your senior year experience. You may pursue opportunities in cooperative education, industry-based projects or research projects.
- You will study assembly language, circuit design, microcontroller hardware and software, digital electronics, and networks.
- Engineering courses begin in your freshman year.
- The program provides an excellent mix of theory and practical laboratory experiences.
Your Degree Options — You may choose to follow one of the following degree concentrations while studying electrical engineering at LSSU. They are: Robotics and Automation Concentration, Digital Systems Concentration and Sustainable Energy Concentration. The Robotics and Automation Concentration provides you with a strong background in robotics, machine vision, sensors, communications and automation. The Digital Systems Concentration will give you additional knowledge in digital design, digital signal processing and microcontroller systems. The Sustainable Energy Concentration provides increased employment opportunities as demand for engineers with knowledge of the power industry and sustainable/renewable energies grows.
Cooperative Education: Opportunities are available as part of this program for students who are qualified. A certificate that documents this practical training is available.
