Electrical EngineeringThe undergraduate electrical engineering degree program seeks to produce gradu-ates who are trained in the theory and practice of electrical and computer engineeringand are well prepared to handle the professional and leadership challenges of theircareers. The program allows students to specialize in high performance and embed-ded computing, microelectronics and nanotechnology, power and energy, signalprocessing and communications, high frequency circuits and fields, and controlsystems, among others.

Degree RequirementsThe following curriculum meets the requirements for a B.S. in Electrical Engineering,provided the student satisfies UK Core requirements and graduation requirementsof the College of Engineering.
