Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Electrical Engineering] From University of Hawaii at Manoa

Both curricula have been designed to achieve the Department's Mission and Educational Objectives and Outcomes. The core courses cover the fundamentals of engineering while upper level technical elective courses allow students to pursue their specific technical interests. In the Electrical Engineering program, the electives are divided into two major areas or Tracks: Electro-Physics Track (solid-state devices and sensors, analog circuit design, microwaves and photonics) and Systems Track (telecommunications, control systems, and signal processing).

A strong emphasis of the program is to provide a hands-on education with state-of-the-art equipment and software tools. A majority of the required courses have a laboratory component including all of the freshman and sophomore level courses. There are three required project courses, one each at the sophomore (EE 296), junior (EE 396), and senior (EE 496) levels.

Opportunities

Former graduates have become professional engineers, employed both locally and nationally. Locally, they are well represented at companies, such as Hawai‘ian Telecom, Hawai‘ian Electric, Lockheed-Martin, Referentia, Spirent, Ron Ho and Associates, and federal and state agencies. On the mainland, they have become successful managers and engineers in companies such as Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Northrup Grumman, and Raytheon, as well as smaller start-up companies. A number of graduates have continued their education to obtain MS and PhD degrees at the University of Hawai`i and at schools such as MIT, UC-Berkeley, USC, UCLA, and Stanford.
