The Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of North Texas provides an innovative program in electrical engineering, combining cognitive skills, industry-university joint projects and business skills with courses that form the foundation of electrical engineering discipline. Combining theory and practice, the curriculum is designed to serve the citizens and industries in Texas, particularly the North Texas region, and the nation.
The department is housed in a brand new facility designed to promote intellectual and scholarly endeavors of faculty and students. The department currently offers a Bachelor of Science degree and plans to offer a Master of Science degree beginning in 2007. There are currently seven faculty members, and the department is actively recruiting several additional outstanding faculty. Research interests of the faculty include digital signal processing, radar and image processing, pattern recognition and wireless sensor networks.
The department receives support from the National Science Foundation to offer an “Innovative Design- and Project-Oriented Electrical Engineering Program” under the Department-Level Reform initiative.
The department currently offers an undergraduate program in the following area:
The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in electrical engineering is an innovative undergraduate program designed to combine the best practices in electrical engineering education. This design- and project-oriented program integrates concepts, analysis, design and development of state-of-the-art electrical and electronic systems. Through course work, students have “learning-to-learn” experiences and projects that are taught jointly by industry and university personnel. This active learning experience emphasizes knowledge and skills so that students can solve real-world electrical engineering problems. The one-year sequence of business and marketing courses encourages students to develop a global markets outlook.
The course work in electrical engineering covers broad areas in electronics, communication systems, computer systems, VLSI design, electromagnetics and signal processing. The design projects are integrated into the course work so that students can learn to solve practical engineering problems in a creative and relevant setting. In addition, the course work ensures that students have an opportunity to solve multidisciplinary engineering problems by working in teams and to develop effective oral and written communication skills.
The program also puts a strong emphasis on studies in art, business, management, humanities, physics and chemistry, social sciences, professionalism and engineering ethics, which fulfill objectives appropriate to the electrical engineering profession.
The bachelor of science degree with a major in electrical engineering is a new program designed to meet ABET Inc. criteria. Accreditation for this degree will be sought as soon as the program graduates its first class of students.
