What is Electrical Engineering?
The Electrical Engineering field is one of the most diverse and exciting fields of engineering. It has been instrumental in shaping the technologically rich society that we currently enjoy, by developing many of the technological revolutions of our time, including cellular phones, HDTV, DVD technology, Internet technologies, high-speed computers, medical diagnostics and imagining devices, and much more.
The field of electrical includes all aspects of the research design, manufacturing, and marketing of electronically oriented products. Recent research has led to advancements in high-density storage capability, improved cell phone technology, affordable flat panel LCD displays, high-speed computers, and much more, which are transforming our lives in many ways. Email has changed the way businesses operate, cellular phones have changes the way young people manage their social lives. These revolutionary, life-changing technologies would not have been possible without electrical and computer engineers. As a graduate of our electrical engineering program, you can be a part of this revolution!

The Major
As a student, you will pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering both in Madrid and in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Parks College.
In addition to a solid foundation in the basic sciences and mathematics, you will be introduced to a broad spectrum of courses covering all major areas of this discipline. Included are courses in digital systems, microprocessors, electronics, communication systems, control systems, power systems, and circuits. These are followed by in-depth courses in specialized areas such advanced digital design, digital signal processing, integrated circuit design, computer networks, and others. These courses provide practical and theoretical knowledge that is directly applicable to the industries they relate to.
The Electrical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC of ABET).

Program Educational Objectives
The Electrical Engineering program has been developed with the following objectives:

• To prepare students to pursue scientific and technical careers beginning with entry-level electrical engineering positions in industry or government.
• Pursue continuing education through graduate studies in related engineering fields, as well as law, business, or management.
• Fill the needs of society in solving technical problems using electrical and computer engineering principles, tools, and practices.
• To develop strong written and oral communication skills in English and Spanish.

Unique Features of this Program
Life-long success in industry or graduate school requires more than a firm understanding of engineering concepts and skills. It also depends upon:

• Strong written and oral communication skills in English and Spanish
