BA/BS in Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering

A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering is awarded through the Electrical and Computer Engineering department, and students can add a computer engineering concentration. Preparation targets careers in communication networks, electric utilities, infrastructure security, artificial intelligence, robotics, electronics manufacturing, and the processing of signals and images. Employers of graduates have included Intel, Boeing, TVA, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and the Nashville utility Nashville Electric Service. A number of alumni pursue further study in engineering, while others move into medicine, law or business programs. Faculty research touches on securing cyber physical systems, autonomous robots, renewable energy and microelectronics. Majors can seek scholarships from the department and from the wider university. Because the same college offers master's and doctoral study, undergraduates have a direct route toward advanced degrees.
