 Return to: Academic Programs (alphabetic)
Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) degree may choose to add a Concentration in Power and Energy Systems. The plan of study for the BSEE with a Concentration in Power and Energy Systems is similar to the BSEE plan of study with three primary exceptions:
- All BSEE students are required to complete Technical Elective courses, usually during the Junior and Senior year. Students pursuing the BSEE with a Concentration in Power and Energy Systems are required to enroll in approved Power and Energy Technical Electives only. See required courses below.
- During the Senior year, Power and Energy Systems Concentration students must complete an intensive, two-semester energy-related Senior design project.
- Students in the concentration are strongly encouraged to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam prior to graduation.
