Electrical Engineering
The degree program in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) curriculum is offered in four concentrations: General, Computer Engineering, Microelectronics (VLSI), and Nuclear Power. Graduates of the BSEE program are well prepared to pursue careers in research and development, design, manufacturing and management in a diverse array of industries including power engineering and energy systems, electronics, computer and information, communication, aerospace, automotive, robotics, etc. They are also well prepared to pursue graduate and professional degrees.
The BSEE degrees in Electrical Engineering has been accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for “Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs, until September 30, 2025.
EE MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the BSEE degree program at Alabama A&M University, consistent with that of the University and the College of Engineering, Technology and Physical Sciences is to provide quality education, research, and service to its constituents. The Department commits to provide qualified graduates in the growing field of electrical engineering by fostering:
- Excellence in electrical engineering education;
- Physical facilities and learning resources that are conducive to learning, research, extension and development;
- A sense of scholarship, leadership and service;
- A search for new knowledge through research and its application; and
- Programs necessary to address the needs of capable students.
EE PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEO)
The objectives of the Electrical Engineering program Alabama A&M University are to produce graduates who, within the first few years of their graduation meet the following:
- Graduates will be equipped with the technical, communication and teamwork skills that will enable them to be competitive in the marketplace and build productive careers in electrical engineering or related fields.
