Electrical Engineering Bachelor of Science
Total Credit Hours: 133
Major Credit Hours: 90-91
Electrical engineers design devices and systems that transport, transform, and control electrical energy to accomplish tasks. From the hardly visible circuits that power today's mobile computing devices to the electrical grid that carries electricity across the country, electrical engineers design, build, test, and deploy circuits that operate at all these scales and for a tremendous variety of purposes. They develop solutions to problems that obey design, performance, and safety constraints, using their deep knowledge of mathematics and physics to optimize their innovations. Lewis University’s electrical engineering program focuses on the large-scale applications associated with the electric power grid, electric machinery, control systems, and power electronics, but the dependence of these applications on other areas of the the field, including radio frequency interference, electromagnetism, and digital logic, means that graduates of this program will possess both the breadth and depth of knowledge needed to begin long, productive careers in the electrical engineering field.
