Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Electrical Engineering

University of Massachusetts - Lowell

Electrical engineers are problem-solvers who develop electronic devices and systems that transform the world-from cell phones and medical imaging to power grids and satellite communications. The Electrical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical Engineering. Through the Electrical Engineering major, you will learn the fundamentals of electrical engineering, beginning with basic mathematics and science, followed by their application to courses in engineering science and engineering design. Courses in engineering science and design provide a balanced view of hardware, software, application tradeoffs, basic modeling techniques and the use of computer-aided design tools. You will also take courses in the humanities and social sciences that help broaden your understanding of the role that non-technical knowledge plays in determining a high level of professional responsibility.An important aspect of our curriculum is the senior-year technical elective program, intended to broaden or deepen technical knowledge based on students’ interests and competencies. In addition, the project-based capstone experience challenges students to develop a custom-designed product for a client with a disability through the Assistive Technology Program. Our hands-on program emphasizes experimental science and technology through investigative laboratory work and classroom lectures and demonstrations.
