The program in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is designed with the purpose of preparing students both for a career in Electrical Engineering profession and for further studies in applied and theoretical research.

The goal of the department is to graduate engineers with a strong level of knowledge in the basic areas of Electrical Engineering who are equipped with the capability and capacity to carry out research, and who maintain high professional ethics along with public awareness and environmental consciousness.

There are six tracks in the program: Electronics, Control Systems and Robotics, Communication Systems and Networks, Signal Processing, Electromagnetic and Optics, MEMS and Solid State Electronics. The course requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering total a minimum of 135 credit hours of formal course work. The first five semesters are common to all Electrical and Electronic Engineering students with the aim of preparing the student to choose an appropriate specialization track. Each student is required to complete (i) the required courses and labs (if any) of the student's selected track,  (ii) two courses from the pool courses of the student's selected track, and (iii) two courses from among the required courses (except the required labs) of the tracks that the student has not selected.

During the period of undergraduate study, the student must also work a minimum of 60 days in industry as a trainee.

Graduation requirements

The course requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering total a minimum of 135 credit hours of formal course work. According to the curriculum the first five semesters are common to all students. Afterwards the student must choose a track for specialization, where he/she must take two required and two elective courses. The student must take also two courses from another track thus satisfying breadth as well as depth requirements.  There is a one or two semester graduation project. During the period of undergraduate study, the student must also work a minimum of 60 days in industry as a trainee.  Students do not have to submit petitions to graduate. At the end of each semester, the advisors investigate the transcripts of their advisees to see if any one of them is qualified to graduate. Those who have satisfied all requirements for graduation (including industrial internship) are listed and this list is presented to faculty members of the Department during a departmental meeting for their scrutiny. The list approved by the Department is then presented to the Executive Committee of the School of Engineering where the academic records of the students are double-checked. The names of those students who are approved by the Executive Committee are sent to the Registrar where their records and graduation requirements are checked one more time before the Registrar officially announces their eligibility for graduation.
