The Marshall University Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (B.S.E.E.) program goals are as follows:

1. Practice the electrical and computer engineering discipline successfully within community accepted standards.
2. Demonstrate teamwork and communication skills for a successful career.
3. Fulfill professional and ethical responsibilities in the practice of electrical and computer engineering, including social, environmental and economic considerations.
4. Engage in professional service, such as participation in professional society and community service.
5. Engage in lifelong learning activities, such as graduate studies or professional workshops.
6. Develop a professional career in the prevailing market that meets personal goals, objectives and desires.

The student outcomes of the B.S.E.E. are:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Co-operative Education

Students may elect to participate in the co-operative education program. Students in the program will have periodic full-time work experiences in their area of interest with participating companies. Information on the program can be obtained from the division chair or academic advisor.

Admission Requirements

• Meet Marshall University admission requirements
• Admission to the B.S.E.E. program requires a minimum composite ACT score of 21 with a math score of 24, or a minimum SAT composite of 1060 with a math SAT of 570.
• Transfer students must have completed MTH 127 College Algebra-Expanded/MTH 130 College Algebra and MTH 132 Precalculus with Sci Applica.

Students not meeting the ACT/SAT score requirements above may enroll in Pre-Engineering. Requirements for Pre-Engineering are a minimum composite ACT score of 19 with a math score of 19-23, or a minimum SAT composite of 990 with a math SAT of 510-560. Students who are admitted to the Pre-Engineering program generally will require an additional calendar year to complete the requirements for the B.S.E.E. degree. Transfer students must be eligible to take MTH 127 College Algebra-Expanded/MTH 130 College Algebra and MTH 132 Precalculus with Sci Applica.

Graduation Requirements

The B.S.E.E. degree program requires a minimum of 132 credit hours of coursework. In addition to fulfilling the university’s requirements for graduation, B.S.E.E. students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in all professional courses. These professional courses include mathematics (MTH 229 Calculus/Analytic Geom I (CT) or above), required science courses, core engineering (ENGR) courses, electrical and computer engineering courses (EE), and courses used as technical electives. Entering students with a Math ACT of 24-26 are required to take MTH 132 Precalculus with Sci Applica. Such students will likely need an extra semester or summer term to satisfy B.S.E.E. requirements.
