MISSION AND OBJECTIVES
Mission Statement
Consistent with the university’s mission, learning is the first priority in the Department of Electrical Engineering.

To implement its mission the Electrical Engineering programs at CSUF provide the best qualities of teaching, scholarship and professional practice. The Department is committed to facilitate the education of engineering undergraduate and graduate students for their entrance in, and significant contribution to, the engineering profession. Our students are actively engaged and work in collaboration with faculty and staff to acquire and expand knowledge. The objectives for our mission are further elaborated under “Department Educational Objectives.”

Department Educational Objectives
The goals of the Department are:

To provide the best of current practice, theory, research and intellectual study in the humanities to prepare students for challenging careers in engineering, strengthen relationships to their communities and contribute ethically and productively to society
To educate students who, actively engaged with faculty and staff, work in collaboration to acquire and expand knowledge
To provide service to the profession, the state of California, the country and to the world-wide development of engineering

A critical focus of the education, research and service programs with the Department is to afford undergraduates of varying backgrounds and abilities every opportunity for achieving success in the engineering professions.

Program Educational Objectives
To achieve these goals, the faculty and students of the Department of Electrical Engineering, with input from other constituents, have established the following program educational objectives:

Technical Growth: Graduates will be successful in modern engineering practice, integrate into the local and global workforce, and contribute to the economy of California and the nation.
Professional Skills: Graduates will continue to demonstrate the professional skills necessary to be competent employees, assume leadership roles, and enjoy career success and satisfaction.
Professional Attitude and Citizenship: Graduates will become productive citizens with high ethical and professional standards, make sound engineering or managerial decisions, and have enthusiasm for the profession and professional growth.

The level of achievement of PEOs is measured by analyzing the Program Outcomes.

2 + 2 Articulated Program with Community Colleges
The department has developed 2+2 articulation agreements with community colleges to provide students seamless transfer to the CSUF Electrical Engineering Program. This allows full-time students, taking the courses specified by the Electrical Engineering Department each semester, to graduate in two years following transfer to CSUF.

INTRODUCTION
The Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone 410-347-7700. The electrical engineering program provides the students with the knowledge of basic and advanced topics in the areas of design and analysis of VLSI and electronic circuits, design and analysis of computer architecture, microprocessors, communication systems, signal processing, and control systems. This program develops an ability to apply design and analysis knowledge to the practice of electrical engineering in an effective and professional manner. This knowledge can be applied to various engineering practices in aerospace, computer, electrical, electronics and other applied fields.

High School Preparation
The entering freshman’s preparation should include two years of algebra, geometry, trigonometry and one year of physics or chemistry. Students deficient in mathematics must take special preparatory courses, i.e., Mathematics 125, which will not carry credit for the major. (See Mathematics Section for Entry Level Mathematics test and Math-Science Qualifying Examination requirements.)

Transfer Students
A transfer student shall complete a minimum of 30 units in residence, at least 15 of which shall be taken in upper-division engineering courses. Work taken at another college or university on which a grade of “D” (1.0) was earned may not be substituted for upper-division courses.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
The undergraduate program requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering comprise four major segments: foundation courses in mathematics and the physical sciences; general education courses in the arts, humanities, social sciences, biological sciences and other related areas; and a sequence of courses to fulfill the requirements of the Electrical Engineering degree.

Undergraduate students are required to meet with their academic adviser every semester during the first year and at least once a year thereafter. Students are strongly encouraged to see their academic advisers frequently. All courses taken in fulfillment of the requirements for the bachelor’s degree must be taken for a letter grade, i.e., under grade Option 1. Math 150A must be completed with at least a “C” (2.0) grade. All other mathematics and physical science courses required for the degree must be completed with at least a “C-“ (1.7) grade to count as credit towards the degree. Graduate courses are not open to undergraduate students without approval of the program coordinator.

Students with degrees from American universities must show proof of meeting an upper-division writing requirement, pass the EWP, or complete English 301 or 360. Students who have degrees from foreign universities must pass the Examination in Writing Proficiency (EWP) or complete English 301 or 360 with a grade of “C” (2.0) or better. Also refer to the Admission Requirements section of this catalog for additional international student requirements.
Development and approval of a study plan prior to completing nine units toward the 30-unit degree requirement
Students must meet with a faculty adviser to set up a study plan. Classification is not granted until the study plan is approved by the faculty adviser, the department chair, and the Office of Graduate Studies. Any subsequent changes to the study plan must have prior written approval by the faculty adviser and department chair.

Study Plan
The study plan consists of a minimum of 30 units of adviser-approved upper-division and graduate-level coursework which must be completed with an overall grade-point average of at least 3.0. At least half the units required for the degree must be in approved graduate (500-level) courses.
