Program Features
BS in Electrical Engineering, EE Scholars program (BS/MS)
Minor in EE: A goal of the Electrical Engineering department is to serve the needs of the students at the University of Colorado Denver. By offering a minor, the department can broaden the training of students majoring in other engineering and applied science fields. Electrical engineers use mathematics and physics tools and theory to develop systems ranging from smart electric grids, embedded systems and computer engineering products, integrated electronics, wired and wireless communications, networking sensing and imaging devices, and information technology. Students enrolled in this minor program will be given the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of electrical engineering as well as be introduced to some advanced applications. Students will be exposed to many real world applications and have hands-on engineering design experience.
Minor in computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering
Minor in computer: By offering a minor, the department can broaden the training of students majoring in other engineering and applied science fields. An important sub-area of electrical engineering is computer engineering. Approximately 1/3 of an electrical engineering major is focused in this area. There has been an explosion of employment prospects in this area and providing a computer engineering minor to CU Denver students can greatly enhance their potential for recruitment. The pre-requisites for this minor do not include the calculus sequence, required by most engineering majors. As a result, this minor will be accessible to almost all students at CU Denver who would like to explore computer engineering fundamentals. Also, by opening these courses up to all majors will create tremendous interdisciplinary opportunities across campus.
People, and Accreditation
We provide graduate programs and an ABET-accredited undergraduate program that are accessible to a diverse group of students-students of different racial and cultural backgrounds, full-time students as well as those who have considerable work and family commitments outside their academic learning and students with a wide variety of work experiences.
