BS Electrical Engineering
Description
Electrical/electronic
engineering graduates from Chico are qualified
for professional practice or graduate work in
several areas of specialization. In addition to
fundamentals of science and mathematics, the
program provides a solid background in
circuits, analog and digital electronics,
microprocessors, and electromagnetics. The
senior-level classes offered for
electrical/electronic engineers include control
systems, communication systems, digital signal
processing, electro-optics, radio frequency circuits, and digital system
design. The program is accredited by the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology (ABET).
Mission
The
Electrical Engineering Department will educate
each student to be a responsible and productive
electrical/electronic engineer who can
effectively manage future
challenges.
Objectives
The
objective of the Electrical/Electronic
Engineering Program is to produce graduates
able to:
-
Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and
engineering to identify, formulate, and solve
electrical/electronic engineering
problems.
- Use
industry standard tools to analyze, design,
develop and test electrical/electronic based systems.
- Achieve
success in graduate programs in electrical
engineering or a related field.
- Continue
to develop their knowledge and skills after
graduation in order to succeed personally and
contribute to employer success.
- Work
effectively as a member of a
multi-disciplinary development team and
undertake leadership roles when
appropriate.
- Communicate
their thoughts, in both written and oral
forms, so that others can comprehend and
build on their work.
- Appreciate
the importance of ethics in the profession
and the need to act in society's best
interest.
