Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering


The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science invites you to explore the program leading to B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering program at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. The Electrical Engineering program at Texas A&M University-Kingsville is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org.

Electrical engineering (EE) is one of the fastest growing disciplines in science and engineering disciplines. Modern electrical engineering has shown strong combination of traditional electrical engineering with computer engineering in both computer hardware and software, resulting in many positions opening to electrical engineers. Electrical engineering graduates usually command higher starting salaries. Some of the more common of these are: artificial intelligence, communication engineers, computer engineers, computer vision, control engineers, power engineers, instrumentation engineers, and robotics.

The Electrical Engineering Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are:

  1. Our graduates will be capable of pursuing professional careers and/or advanced studies.
  2. Our graduates will pursue state-of-the art solutions to engineering problems and evaluate/embrace new technologies.
  3. Our graduates will exhibit personal commitment to continuous learning, high ethical standards, sound business decisions, and engineering excellence.

The Electrical Engineering Program Student Outcomes are:

Our students have

  1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
  2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors 
  3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences 
  4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts 
  5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives 
  6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions 
  7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
