Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (B.Sc)

Program objectives—single major, four-year track

The undergraduate study program aims to train electrical engineers in the areas of modern knowledge in the field. Graduates of the program will be qualified to join the knowledge-rich industry or pursue advanced studies in research groups in leading universities worldwide.

The single-major B.Sc in electrical engineering is a four-year program divided into two parts:

During the first two years of studies, students will acquire a scientific foundation of the fundamentals:

  • Mathematics
  • Physics
  • Programming
  • Electronics

 Students will specialize in two of five possible tracks in years three and four, each providing rich theoretical and practical knowledge (more about the five tracks below).

To enhance practical knowledge, the electrical engineering program includes many laboratory courses that put theory to use through first-hand experience. The laboratories are equipped with top-of-the-line equipment.

Electrical engineering: final project

The highlight of the engineer's training is the final project, which is carried out throughout the year. The project allows students to apply the knowledge acquired during study to solving an engineering or research problem. The project is carried out under the close supervision of a senior faculty member.

Electrical engineering students must choose two of the following specialization tracks (starting their third year):

Electro-optics: The electro-optics track provides students with the theoretical knowledge required for understanding lasers, optics communication, and sensors, as well as several electives of significant interest in academia and the industry, both local and international. Students are exposed to such subjects as microphotonic devices, MEMS, advanced optical communication systems, and high-resolution imaging systems. In addition, students gain practical experience via lab courses, where students can put theory to practice. Classes are taught by electrical engineering researchers from the Faculty of Engineering who have made a name for themselves in the field.

Communications: Teaching the theoretical knowledge required for designing, planning, and analyzing the performance of the different parts of the communications system. Students are trained to join the industry in their field of specialization—graduates of the electrical engineering B.Sc program will find its place in areas like

developing and applying wireless systems (e.g., cellular networks, Wi-Fi components, and advanced communication technologies). Courses are taught by electrical engineering researchers from the Faculty of Engineering who have made a name for themselves in the field.

Nanoelectronics: The goal of this program is to combine electrical engineering studies with an in-depth knowledge of designing, planning, and manufacturing nanoelectronic devices, circuits and VLSI systems, advanced imaging sensors, space devices and systems, memory design and characterization, reliable hardware design, reliability in VLSI systems, analog and digital design of integrated circuits. Analog sensors and interfaces, analog circuits for energy management and transfer, and analog and digital circuits for safe hardware. The lecturers of the courses are the track members who are world-renowned in their field and whose research work overlaps with the subjects of the studies.

Bioengineering: This program aims to combine electrical engineering studies with an in-depth knowledge of the various fields of biology and physiology. The study program in this bachelor's degree in electrical engineering corresponds to the interdisciplinary nature of bioengineering research. It includes the application of engineering principles to solve problems in medicine and biology, as well as understanding the principles of operation of biological systems, from the cell level to the organism level, intending to enable the design and construction of synthetic biological systems. The track offers courses such as biosensors and biochips, medical imaging, control of biological systems, computational biology, big data, and bioinformatics. The lecturers of the courses are the track members who are world-renowned in their field and whose research work overlaps with the subjects of the studies.

Signal processing: This track offers a wide variety of courses in the field. This course of electrical engineering studies combines theoretical knowledge in the relevant areas, random signals, and algorithms, deepens machine learning, and enables the choice of several subjects, such as signal processing in networks and image processing. The lecturers of the courses are the track members who are world-renowned in their field and whose research work overlaps with the subjects of the studies. The teaching laboratory in the area, which presents an innovative combination of theory and practice, is one of the most appreciated laboratories in its field worldwide.
