Program Description

Electrical Engineers create the technological advances that shape the future.  This field encompasses innovative electrical, electronic, and system solutions including robotics, renewable energy, communication technologies, artificial intelligence, and power systems. Kennesaw State University’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) provides an ABET accredited, practical, student-centric education that prepares students with in-demand technical and professional skills for the careers of today and tomorrow.   KSU ECE students receive hands-on experience in modern engineering labs integrated with faculty-taught lectures.  Outside the classroom, KSU offers internship opportunities in the greater Atlanta area technology industry, research opportunities with our expert faculty, and personal development in professional societies and technical organizations.

Graduates of the Electrical Engineering program will:

• Apply their technical knowledge and skills in the advancement of their careers with increasing responsibility in the Electrical Engineering industry or in the pursuit of other fields.
• Possess effective research and development skills that will enable them to pursue graduate education in Electrical Engineering or related fields and enable them to continue with lifelong learning in their careers.
• Obtain careers where they will become leaders in their chosen field, be leaders in multidisciplinary teams, be active in professional organizations, make socially responsible decisions and demonstrate effective communication skills.
• Meet the educational requirements needed to pursue Professional Engineering licensure in the state of Georgia or other states.

Program Student Learning Outcomes

Students who successfully complete this program will be able to:

1. Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. 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.
