Electrical Engineering Program Description
The Department of Engineering and Aviation Sciences proposes to establish a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) within the School of Business and Technology (SBT) at UMES. Electrical Engineering (EE) is a broad field that impacts many industries, including aerospace, telecommunications, artificial intelligence, and robotics. Electrical engineers design, develop, test, build, install, and maintain electrical equipment and systems. Some common specialties within electrical engineering include energy and power systems, <br>semiconductor and electronic component manufacturing, research and development, signal processing, and control engineering. The proposed EE program aims to offer prospective students the educational opportunity to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering and take the inside track <br>to a career that combines engineering and technology to find ways to improve the quality of human life.
