The bachelor’sBS in Electrical Engineering program is offered through the Inamori School of Engineering, known for world-class research into STEM-related challenges.
First-year students start their studies with Alfred’s first-year engineering sequence while also developing a strong foundation in math, chemistry, and physics. Sophomores and juniors build on this foundation while learning circuit theory, device electronics, advanced engineering mathematics, thermodynamics, and more. The senior year culminates in a year-long capstone project to provide a solution to a real-world engineering challenge.
Core courses in the electrical engineering bachelor’s degree program may include:
- Software Engineering
- Computer Science
- Microprocessor Systems and Applications
- Circuit Theory
- Device Electronics
- Electronic Circuits
- Thermodynamics
- Signals and Systems
- Electric Machinery
