BS Electrical Engineering - Networks and Communication Systems Concentration

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a major in Civil Engineering is designed to provide students with an education that addresses the emerging field of technology-enhanced (Smart) infrastructure, as well as fundamental concepts in environmental, geotechnical, materials, structural, transportation, and water resources engineering. In addition to being capable of designing a range of infrastructure assets, graduates will have experience with sensor devices, data transmission and storage systems, big data and machine learning methods, predictive modeling, and automated infrastructure management technologies. Further, students will be prepared to take the Fundamentals of Engineering and, later in their professional career, Principles and Practice of Engineering exams. The B.S. major in Civil engineering will seek accreditation in accordance with the process specified by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (www.abet.org). 

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a major in Electrical Engineering provides students the background that is essential for the conception, design, development, and manufacture of electrical, electronic and information technology products and systems. Students may specialize in the areas of networks and communication systems, micro and nano devices and systems, or computer engineering. Proficiency in mathematics is especially important in Electrical Engineering. The B.S. with a major in Electrical Engineering and the B.S. with a major in Electrical Engineering with Computer Engineering Concentration are both accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (www.abet.org).

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a major in Industrial Engineering provides students the background that is essential for improving the productivity, quality, safety, sustainability, and cost effectiveness of all types of systems and processes. Industrial engineers are typically engaged in the areas of quality control, human factors and ergonomics, facilities design, work design, production and operations management, supply chain design or redesign, information technology, manufacturing and service systems optimization, and industrial safety. The B.S. major in Industrial Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (www.abet.org).

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a major in Manufacturing Engineering is designed to provide students with the mathematics, science, management, engineering, and applications skills needed to become manufacturing engineers. Manufacturing engineering is a broad area that includes the design and development of products, emphasizing their manufacturability. This engineering discipline involves researching and developing the tools, processes, machines, and equipment required for manufacturing. It also includes integrating facilities and systems to produce high-quality products using the most cost-effective manufacturing methods. The degree has a concentration in general manufacturing or mechanical systems. The B.S. major in Manufacturing Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (www.abet.org).

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a major in Mechanical Engineering is designed to provide students with an education that combines a strong foundation in traditional mechanical engineering principles with a unique education in designing and developing mechanical products and systems that are intelligent, interconnected, and integrated with the virtual world and emerging digital infrastructure. The curriculum will prepare students to apply principles of engineering, basic science, and mathematics to model, analyze, design, and realize thermal and mechanical physical systems, components, or processes. In addition, students will have the necessary background to use modern tools and technologies such as engineering simulation, rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing, sensor systems, robotics, real-time communication, and big data and data analytics. The B.S. major in Mechanical Engineering will seek accreditation in accordance with the process specified by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (www.abet.org).

The Ingram School of Engineering will be a nationally recognized institution of higher education, serving students and employers with a complete set of accredited engineering programs supported by a faculty which maintains high standards of teaching, research, and service. To accomplish this vision, we will:
