Electrical Engineering, BI™

Objectives

The Bachelor of Innovation™ in Electrical Engineering will provide students with both the technical and business background to work on innovative electrical engineering-related projects, including the ability to:

recognize the broader issues in electrical engineering technology-related problems
understand the technological, business, legal and societal constraints affecting this technology
communicate the key issues, needs, potential options, and final solution to a challenge

The program seeks to prepare students for successful careers and lifelong learning. In addition to the technical competence to be expected of a graduate with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, students will develop the critical thinking skills, multi-faceted team oriented skills and basic business background to ensure that they can effectively compete in the changing technological career landscape for positions that are unlikely to be out-sourced.
