Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering - Degree Completion

Students have a number of items that may be required for admission to the university.

• In evaluating applications for transfer admission, academic performance at each college attended is considered.
• If the applicant has less than 24 transferable hours, they will also be required to submit final high school transcripts and may also be required to submit either the SAT or ACT exam scores.
  • *Students age 21+ are not required to submit SAT or ACT exam scores. 
• Official transcripts from any and all previously attended post-secondary institutions must be submitted for review. Transfer applicants should have a minimum cumulative average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.  

Courses within the BSEE Program are offered entirely online using a learning management system. Access to a reliable computer with internet access is required. 

The USI BSEE Student Outcomes align with the ABET General Criterion 3 "1 through 7," as shown below: 

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, economics, 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.

Your education is the faculty’s prime focus. They themselves (never grad students) instruct you in the classroom and laboratory. Many bring years of industry experience, supporting your grasp of theory with practical insights. Class size is typically 24 students, and smaller as you advance in your studies. A 16:1 student-faculty ratio and open-door policy make it easy for you to consult your instructors when you need.

In 2016, the College won funding for an advanced engineering challenge: to design, test, deploy and monitor a satellite for NASA. A team of engineering students developed the UNITE CubeSat over the span of about 30 months. Work conformed to NASA criteria, which included more than 100 tests of hardware and systems. NASA launched UNITE on a Space-X rocket in December 2018 and it was deployed from the International Space Station in January 2019. The satellite relays information on location, temperature and plasma and will do so until reentry into the atmosphere terminates its mission. In May it reached a milestone—over 100 orbits.

Project UNITE represents one of the varied extracurricular avenues for practical experience in engineering outside the classroom.
