BS in Electrical Engineering and Physics

Electrical Engineering and Physics is a major that enables the student to obtain electrical engineering skills in addition to a deep understanding of physics. This specialization is concerned with topics related to energy, electromagnetism, electronics, communications, digital processing, semiconductors, optics and quantum physics, in addition to most electrical engineering and physics topics. Topics related to energy include energy production, transmission and distribution with high efficiency. Renewable energy sources are also discussed as a permanent and environmentally friendly source. The electromagnetic side is concerned with the transmission of waves and methods of designing antennas and optical fibers. In electronics we cover the designs of electronic circuits and logic circuits used in the fields of communications, computing, and military and defense systems. As for the communications aspect, it covers wired and wireless systems and their applications, data encryption and networks. The digital processing includes the analysis and processing of digital signals and their medical, industrial and artificial intelligence applications. This specialization also includes multiple applications of semiconductors, optics and quantum physics.

A student in his final year of the program may choose between several elective courses, or enroll in one of the following concentrations:

▪ Electrical Instrumentation and Sensors ▪ Communication Systems ▪ Computational Analytics ▪ Computer Networks ▪ Decision Analytics ▪ Drone Design and Applications ▪ Electronic Defense Systems ▪ Energy Efficiency ▪ Internet of Things ▪ Laser and Microwave Sensing ▪ Process Safety ▪ Quantum Information and Computing

As for the fields of work for which this specialization qualifies, they vary between: ▪ Electrical Power Systems ▪ Electronics ▪ Solid State Devices and Robotics ▪ Signal Processing ▪ Telecommunications ▪ Military Industries ▪ Integrative Circuits and Computers ▪ Power Transmission Systems ▪ Laser Applications ▪ Nanotechnology ▪ Quality Laboratories ▪ Nuclear Power Reactors
