 Welcome to the Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) in the
College of Engineering at the University of North Texas! Our department
started with an approval from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating
Board (THECB) in November 2004, to offer a Bachelor of Science degree
in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) starting in January 2005 and a Master
of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) starting in September 2007.
The department recently moved into a brand new facility in the Research Park
where we provide state-of-the-art laboratories and classrooms.
We received approximately $1M through a National Science Foundation
(NSF) grant to implement "A Design- and Project-Oriented Innovative
Electrical Engineering Program." This generous support from the
NSF enables the EE department to strive for Excellence in Engineering
Education. We introduce innovations into our design- and project-based
educational programs with the help of partners from the local industry. We also
incorporate cognitive methods in learning and appropriate business skills in the
program.
We started the department in Jan 2005 with 10 students and by Fall 2007 we have an enrollment of 174 students.
The hands-on design- and project-based education we offer with the help of our
industrial adjuncts empower our students to embark on a challenging career in
high-tech industry when they graduate. The learning-to-learn approach we use for
fostering student-centered learning, enables our students with the
necessary skills for life-long learning. We have started our graduate program in September 2007 with an intial enrollment of 26 students. Graduates students who aspire to be
researchers in academia or industry can pursue research topics by working with
one of our faculty members.
I invite you to explore this web site full of information about the department.
