COURSE CURRICULUM

Wright State University Electrical Engineering BSEE program is an ABET-accredited undergraduate degree designed to develop strong foundations in mathematics, physics, circuit theory, signal processing, electromagnetics, and modern electronic systems. At Wright State University, students begin as pre-engineering majors completing calculus, differential equations, and physics with laboratories, along with introductory programming and digital/analog circuit fundamentals. After meeting GPA and course requirements, students progress into upper-level engineering study covering continuous and discrete linear systems, electronic devices and circuits, random signals and noise, control systems, digital integrated circuit design using FPGAs, and electromagnetics with lab-based experimentation. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning through extensive laboratory components, design projects, and a required senior capstone sequence where students work in teams to design and implement real engineering systems. Students also choose advanced electives such as wireless communications, robotics, machine learning, microwave engineering, VLSI design, radar systems, and autonomous systems, allowing specialization in areas like communications, embedded systems, AI hardware, or power and control. Technical electives and internships further enhance real-world experience in industry or research environments. The program integrates strong computing skills, requiring programming coursework and digital system design, ensuring graduates are prepared for modern interdisciplinary engineering roles. Learning outcomes include the ability to solve complex engineering problems, design systems with consideration of safety and societal impact, conduct experiments and analyze data, communicate effectively, and work in teams. Graduates pursue careers in electronics, telecommunications, aerospace, robotics, semiconductor industries, renewable energy, defense systems, and autonomous technologies, or continue into graduate studies. With its combination of rigorous theory, laboratory practice, and industry-aligned training, the program equips students to innovate in rapidly evolving technological fields and contribute to advanced engineering solutions worldwide. Strong partnerships, research opportunities, and small class sizes further support student success and career readiness including industry collaborations and hands-on innovation projects in engineering and technology fields.
