Electrical & Computer Engineering
Bachelor of Science (B.S.), Electrical Engineering
Overview
Morgan State University is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Electrical Engineering program was founded in September 1984 and is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
Accredited by ABET
All students pursuing the B.S. in Electrical Engineering (EE) are required to earn a minimum of 120 academic credit hours of course work which includes 45 credits in general education, an additional 19 credits in mathematics and science, and 56 credits in core electrical engineering requirements, including 18 credits of approved electives or concentration requirements to strengthen a particular area of interest (e.g., cybersecurity, and computer engineering.),
The Electrical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Institution's Mission Statement
Morgan State University serves the community, region, state, nation, and world as an intellectual and creative resource by supporting, empowering and preparing high-quality, diverse graduates to lead the world. The University offers innovative, inclusive, and distinctive educational experiences to a broad cross-section of the population in a comprehensive range of disciplines at the baccalaureate, master’s, doctoral, and professional degree levels. Through collaborative pursuits, scholarly research, creative endeavors, and dedicated public service, the University gives significant priority to addressing societal problems, particularly those prevalent in urban communities.
Mitchell School of Engineering Mission Statement
The mission of the Morgan State University, Mitchell School of Engineering is to cultivate a diverse generation of ethical and innovative engineers, researchers, and leaders. Through rigorous education, cutting-edge research, and practical application across its Departments, we prepare students to develop sustainable solutions, advance technology, and address complex global and urban infrastructure challenges.
The ECE Department has identified four program educational objectives (PEOs) to guide the program curriculum and delivery:
- Remain effective in their employment in engineering and other professional career fields.
- Facilitate innovation and synthesis of new products and services, as well as improve existing products, in a societal and global context.
- Engage in learning and development activities and continue to be contributors in their profession, community or other organizations.
- Maintain ethical and technical standards, and provide service to their profession and community-at-large.
The Electrical Engineering degree program student outcomes serve as specific guidelines and standards of the core knowledge, skills, and abilities that students are expected to achieve by the time of graduation. The outcomes also indicate the minimum standards of achievement for students matriculating through the program.
Students who graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree from our department at Morgan State University demonstrate:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- 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
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- 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
- 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
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The prerequisite requirements for all courses will be strictly enforced. Students MUST have the prescribed prerequisites before registering for a course. Prerequisite waivers will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Requirements for the Electrical Engineering major include thorough preparation in mathematics, physics, and engineering. Elective courses must include both Electrical and Computer Engineering courses and approved courses (i.e. 300 level or above) outside of the department. Students must earn a grade of “C” or higher in all engineering, physics, mathematics, and approved elective courses.
Note: Students are required to repeat courses in the major which they did not pass with a “C” or higher. These are courses beginning in EEGR, CEGR, and IEGR. If you receive a grade lower than “C” in an elective course in the major, you have the following options: (1) Retake the course and pass with a grade of “C” or higher (2) Substitute an equivalent course and pass with a grade of “C” or higher. You will have only one (1) opportunity to substitute an equivalent course for a course in which you have previously received a grade lower than a “C” or higher.
