Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering

University of Akron

Every aspect of modern life is influenced by electrical engineers. They design and develop systems ranging from massive power grids and global communications networks to tiny integrated circuits inside computers and personal electronics. Branches of electrical engineering include: communicationscontrolselectromagneticselectronicspower systemsImportant applications include:power generation and distributionsustainable energy systemsmanufacturing automationaerospace systemsroboticssensors and instrumentationimaging systemsThe University of Akron’s comprehensive electrical engineering curriculum prepares students to identify, formulate, and implement solutions to real-world engineering problems. Students learn how to use modern engineering tools in well-equipped laboratories, with activities that reinforce the concepts learned in the classroom. The curriculum emphasizes design and teamwork and culminates in a capstone senior design project that integrates the material learned in earlier courses.Students graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. The BS in Electrical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. The program has specific educational objectives and student outcomes that prepare graduates to enter the professional practice of engineering.
