Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering

A Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering is a professional degree program that prepares students for careers in a variety of industries. The degree provides students with the necessary technical and managerial skills to enter the workforce in the design application, installation, manufacturing, operation and maintenance of electrical systems. Students gain hands-on experience throughout the program and learn the foundational electronics, mathematics, physics, communications control systems and computing necessary to solve real-world problems in an ethical and socially-responsible manner. Students will learn the skills necessary to build, manufacture, operate, maintain and improve complex electrical systems. Graduates will have strong communication skills and are capable of communicating with a range of audiences, as well the ability to work as a productive member of an interdisciplinary team.

Why Should I Major in Electrical Engineering?

Electrical engineers enjoy excellent job prospects because they are always needed—numerous current articles list electrical engineering as one of the most in-demand jobs for 2019 and the foreseeable future. Electrical engineers work in almost every industry, including power, music, electronics, medicine and entertainment, giving graduates a wide variety of career options. At the Webb School of Engineering, we are committed to incorporating the latest trends in technology and in engineering education into our curriculum At High Point, students have access to state of the art equipment from top manufacturers, both in electrical courses such as electronics, and in the Maker Space supporting our freshman and senior design courses.

Program Objectives

For Electrical and Computer Engineering, Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are reviewed by faculty and Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) in the spring of odd years. Student input is captured in a survey conducted in the final semester of the capstone class. The PEOs developed through this process and most recently approved by the IAB on April 27, 2023, are as follows:

Three to five years after graduation, the graduates of Electrical or Computer Engineering at HPU will:

  • Be employed or be pursuing graduate degrees in their disciplines or in a closely related field.
  • Be progressing toward professional licensure.
  • Be continuing to develop their knowledge, sense of ethics, and skills in engineering through means such as professional societies, engineering conferences, mentorship opportunities, and formal or informal courses.
  • Be fully contributing, and actively adding value, to their businesses or academic organizations, and developing as professionals.
