At Saint Louis University's School of Science and Engineering, we have developed a unique, hands-on electrical engineering program that incorporates analysis, design and development of electrical systems.
As a student in the electrical engineering program at SLU, you will gain a solid foundation through a combination of coursework and hands-on learning. You will use the physical properties of electricity and mathematics to design systems that collect, analyze, and use information, as well as distribute and utilize electrical energy, and design the electrical systems that are at the heart of today's technology such as smartphones, tablets, internet-ready televisions, satellites and many other devices.
With easy access to a sophisticated design laboratory and other technological spaces, graduates will have the necessary skills for entry into the profession as productive and effective engineers or to pursue graduate education.
A Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in electrical engineering can also be obtained with the following options:
- Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in electrical engineering, emphasis in bioelectronics (pre-health)
- Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in electrical engineering, emphasis in bioelectronics (engineering emphasis)
The bioelectronics concentration is a joint effort between the electrical engineering and biomedical engineering programs. The course of study combines science and engineering, incorporating courses in biology, chemistry, math, biomedical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering and others.
The undergraduate electrical engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (http://www.abet.org).
Program Educational Objectives
The undergraduate program is designed to meet the following specific program educational objectives
- Our graduates will have acquired advanced degrees or are engaged in advanced study in engineering, business, law, medicine or other appropriate fields.
- Our graduates will have established themselves as practicing engineers in electrical, computer or related engineering fields.
- Our graduates will be filling the technical needs of society by solving engineering problems using electrical or computer engineering principles, tools, and practices.
Student Outcomes
Student outcomes are defined by ABET as the skills that graduates will attain at the time of graduation. Student outcomes are listed below:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
