Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
Do you have a love of technology and solving challenging problems? Learn how to apply your strengths in science and math and your natural inquisitive and analytical skills in JWU Providence’s Electronics Engineering bachelor’s degree program.
Engineering at JWU focuses on design, application, and innovation. Application-driven project work, where students utilize problem-solving and critical thinking, is embedded in courses to help you develop engineering design skills — and the project management and communications skills necessary to work successfully as a team.
Our project-based approach integrates mathematical and engineering applications with contemporary developments in the field, including courses in microelectronics design, digital signal processing, and modeling and prototyping.
Starting in your junior year, you’ll have the opportunity to gain industry experience through our many experiential education and internship options. Customize your education with electives or select a minor like mathematics or cybersecurity to add value to your degree.
As a senior, apply the engineering principles you have learned in a two-semester team-based capstone project that culminates in a written report and an oral presentation where the team demonstrates a functional prototype.
Upon graduation, you’ll be well-positioned to find employment in various industries where design and product development, testing, and research are essential.
The Electronics Engineering bachelor’s degree program provides a broad-based foundation in current and projected growth areas of electronic engineering. The program focuses on the technology dynamics of the industry in embedded systems design and applications.
An immersive, lab-based approach integrates mathematical and engineering applications with contemporary developments in the field.
Upon completion of the program, graduates are expected to:
- Apply knowledge of mathematics, engineering sciences and contemporary developments in the field to perform analysis and design to desired engineering specifications.
- Use engineering processes to identify and analyze problems, formulate solutions, design simulations and experiments, and interpret results.
- Communicate complex concepts through design principles to create adaptable and efficient solutions that reflect ethical considerations and global awareness in the resolution of engineering problems.
- Employ industry-standard techniques, skills and tools to analyze and interpret data to formulate engineering solutions.
- Integrate knowledge, tools, and problem-solving skills to implement the design, creation and testing of solutions to engineering problems.
- Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership by creating a collaborative and inclusive environment.
Through experiential education options, students have the opportunity to gain work experience at a variety of industry partnership sites.
