Students who are interested in exploring the field of engineering or pursuing a baccalaureate engineering degree in fields not offered at UWF should complete this Pre-Engineering Program. Completion will result in the student earning an Associate of Arts degree and meeting the Florida Common Prerequisites for Engineering Programs. Students planning to transfer to an institution outside the State University System of Florida should discuss with their advisor the specific transfer requirements for that school. Please check the catalog for more informatin on the program requirements.
Electrical engineering is science-oriented and is primarily concerned with all phases and development of the transmission and utilization of electric energy and intelligence. The EE curriculum provides sufficient electives to allow a student to specialize in any one of seven areas: communications, computer engineering, systems and controls, electromagnetics, and electronics.
Computer engineering deals with the body of knowledge that forms the theoretical and practical basis for the storage, retrieval, processing, analysis, recognition, and display of information. This also includes the design and implementation of computer systems and peripheral devices for information handling and engineering applications. The CE curriculum provides a balance of hardware, software, and computer theory and applications with a basic background in electrical engineering.
The minor provides an opportunity for students majoring in other areas to take a limited number of electrical engineering courses to compliment their majors. The minor in electrical engineering is open to all UWF students with the exception of computer and electrical engineering majors. Students applying for the minor must have a declared major.
The Certificate in Electrical Engineering is open to all UWF students with the exception of computer and electrical engineering majors.
