What Will You Learn in Our Electrical Engineering Bachelor’s Degree Program?
In our B.S. in Electrical Engineering degree, you will learn how to apply probability and statistics to electrical engineering. In addition, you will gain knowledge of scientific and mathematical principles necessary to analyze and design complex digital systems. This knowledge will be useful in understanding the creation of electronics and control systems.
We will also cover the basic architecture of computers, as this information and training is vital to a broad understanding of all areas of engineering. From there you will study the basics of electronic components and control systems. We will also cover how to develop a plan, team dynamics, budgeting, creating a conceptual design, and other factors that are crucial in seeing a design through to completion.
