Electrical engineering options


General option


In the general option a set of specializations is possible. Students are expected to select a set of interrelated courses that fulfills an engineering design experience and allows for concentration in one area. Examples of such areas are communication systems and signal processing, digital electronics, integrated circuits and devices, and power systems.

Bioengineering option


Bioengineering is the application of engineering principles to measurement, analysis, and design issues faced by the medical and life science communities. The health care industry is one of the fastest-growing business sectors in the United States. Through the bioengineering option, undergraduate students can obtain a BS degree in electrical engineering while acquiring a highly marketable biotechnology skill set. Areas of emphasis within this option are medical instrumentation (biosensors and data acquisition tools), biosignal analysis, and biomedical product design.

Candidates for this option include undergraduate electrical engineering and pre-medicine students who seek a multidisciplinary environment focused upon using technology to increase quality of life. Instructors from various colleges at K-State contribute to this curriculum.

The curriculum accommodates pre-medicine students through the acceptance of core premedicine courses as complementary electives. Students pursuing a pre-medicine program  should contact the dean’s office in the College of Arts and Sciences for additional information.

Notes


*Students must complete the appropriate prerequisite credits for ENGL 415, but may apply only three hours of ENGL 415 prerequisite credits towards degree requirements.

**Humanities and social science electives must be from the official College of Engineering, UGE Humanities and Social Science list. At least one course must be in Humanities.  Students may transfer up to 6 hours of humanities and social science courses if not needed to meet UGE requirements.

***Technical electives must be selected to complete one of the areas of specialization.
