For more information, see www.careers.csulb.edu.) Advisory and Development Council The Department of Electrical Engineering is supported by an Advisory and Development Council consisting of outstanding engineers and executives from industry and government in southern California. Its function is to form a liaison between the University and industry and to keep the administration and faculty informed of modern engineering practices. This ensures that the curricula are kept up‑to‑date. It also advises on placement opportunities before and after graduation. ABET Accreditation The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering offered at the Long Beach campus is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. The Electrical Engineering Extension Program offered at Lancaster University Center, Lancaster, CA is seeking accreditation in Fall 2014. Undergraduate Programs Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (120 units) The objectives of the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Program are to prepare students to be successful and advance in their chosen careers in industry, academia, and public institutions, making significant contributions to the field of electrical engineering. These objectives are achieved by providing students: 1. a solid foundation in basic science, mathematics, and EE practices and major design skills to maintain high employability, adaptability, and an ability to develop and apply new technology; 2. effective communication skills to be able to progress in their careers; 3. an awareness of ethical and societal responsibilities; 4. an ability to work effectively in a team environment. The bachelor's degree in electrical engineering is designed to prepare graduates for responsible engineering positions in design, development, research, applications, and operation in the fields of communications, control systems, digital signal processing systems, electromagnetics, digital and analog electronic circuits, physical electronics, computer-aided design and power systems. The curriculum is built around a strong basic core of mathematics, physics and engineering science. This is followed by intermediate courses in electrical engineering topics and finally a senior elective sequence including a senior design seminar and terminating in a capstone design course. By choice of senior elective sequence, comprehensive coverage is provided in any one of the above fields. Laboratory facilities are available in the engineering buildings allowing for basic as well as more advanced laboratory instruction in electronics, digital signal processing, control systems, microelectronics, communications, power, and digital systems. Extension Program The undergraduate program in electrical engineering is also offered as an extension program at Lancaster University Center, Lancaster, CA as part of the Antelope Valley Engineering Programs. This special program offered through the College of Continuing and Professional Education (CCPE) only accepts upper division transfer students with specific admission requirements. The extension program is a cohort-based model, allowing students to proceed as a group through the program in a prescribed lock-step sequence. Major Declaration Freshmen admission to engineering majors is to a 'pre- major' status (i.e., Pre-Electrical Engineering). Continuation in the major will be subject to meeting specific lower division course and GPA requirements at CSULB that indicate the student's ability to succeed and complete the major. Transfer applicants and CSULB students seeking admission into Electrical Engineering at the Long Beach campus must also meet similar major specific requirements. To become fully admitted into the Electrical Engineering major at the Long Beach campus, all prospective students (i.e., pre- majors, undeclared, major changes) must have a minimum cumulative 2.5 GPA and complete the following lower- division courses: ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING College of Engineering

Concurrent and/or Summer Enrollment in Another College Students who wish to take coursework in a community college or another college to meet curricular requirements while enrolled as an undergraduate in the Department of Electrical Engineering must petition the EE Undergraduate Advisor for prior approval to enroll in specific courses. This policy is for either concurrent enrollment or summer enrollment. Prior approval for transfer credit for upper division major courses may generally be approved for no more than six semester units, subject to approval by the EE Undergraduate Advisor and the EE Department Chair who may require sufficient information to determine if each requested course is deemed equivalent to an EE course at CSULB. Exceptions require approval by vote of the EE Undergraduate Curriculum Committee. Bachelor of Science in Engineering Option in Biomedical and Clinical Engineering (129 units) The Department of Electrical Engineering administers an option in Biomedical and Clinical Engineering that allows the student to acquire substantive competence in biomedical engineering and biology. The program builds upon a strong base of biology, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering science to develop a clinically oriented biomedical engineer to serve medical and industrial needs. It includes a core of standard electrical engineering courses as well as courses and laboratories in biomedical engineering, anatomy, physiology and biology. Elective units are available in the senior year to explore individual areas of interest.
