Undergraduate Curriculum

Trained to be an expert thinker and problem solver, today’s electrical engineer is as much in demand as ever. Our mission is to serve society through excellence in education, research, and public service. We provide for our students an education in electrical engineering, and we aspire to instill in them the attitudes, values, and vision that will prepare them for lifetimes of continued learning and leadership in their chosen careers. Through scholarship the Department strives to generate new knowledge and technology for the benefit of the State of Nevada, the nation and beyond.

The undergraduate program is specifically formulated with three (3) educational objectives:

• Depth. Graduates apply specialized knowledge in the practice or the advanced study of electrical engineering, including its scientific principles, rigorous analysis, and creative design.
• Breadth. Graduates apply a broad range of knowledge including information on the most important current issues in electrial engineering for productive careers in the public or private sector or for the pursuit of graduate education.
• Professionalism. Graduates communicate clearly and work ethically in teams befitting a modern environment. They engage in life-long learning to adapt to changes in the requirements of their profession.

Aware of the dynamic nature of the discipline, while at the same time cognizant of that body of knowledge which appears to be timeless, the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering is continually in the process of evaluating and updating its curriculum. The Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering also cooperates with local industry to offer a number of summer internships for qualified undergraduate electrical engineering students. The curriculum for the bachelor of science in electrical engineering degree is listed below.

NOTE : The professional FE examination, administered by the state board of engineering registration, must be taken by all electrical engineering students before graduation during the senior year of study.

Engineering Physics

The engineering physics program*, administered by the electrical and biomedical engineering department, leads to the bachelor of science in engineering physics degree. The program is designed for the student who desires a background in engineering science, based on a firm foundation of physics, as well as an introduction to computer science. The program is also for students who would like to pursue graduate studies in physics or engineering.

*Engineering Physics is not an ABET accredited program.
