The department of Electrical Engineering was established through the generous support of McDonnell Douglas Corp. and Emerson Electric Corp. in 1987. The department offers unique undergraduate programs leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. Providing electrical and computer programs that incorporate analysis, design, and development of electrical and electronic systems, the department prepares graduates to pursue scientific and technical careers in industry or government or to continue their education through graduate studies not only in related engineering fields, but also in law, business, or management. Graduates of the program are prepared to fill the needs of society in solving technical problems using electrical engineering principles, tools, and practices.
