BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
ACCREDITATION
Electrical engineers synthesize science, mathematics, technology,
and application-oriented designs into world class consumer
products, timely microprocessors, state of the art computers,
advanced electronic components and much more.
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program is accredited by
the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and is
licensed by the KHDA. The main BS Electrical Engineering program at
Rochester-NY is also accredited by ABET and the Middle States Association
of Colleges and Schools. As per ABET requirements, the Dubai BS Electrical
Engineering program is expected to apply for ABET accreditation on
graduating the first class of students in June 2015.
From cutting-edge technology revolutions to real life applications,
the innovations of electrical engineers continue to lead the future
and elevate the standards in the marketplace. With a shortage of
electrical engineering talent in the job market, demands for RIT
Dubai graduates remains at an all-time high. RIT Dubai’s highly
regarded electrical engineering program uniquely combines the
rigor of theory with hands-on applications and laboratory
experiments in order to provide in-depth knowledge of the subject
matter.
To this effect, students gain mastery of mathematics and scientific
principles in their first two years of study while exploring world
class design practices using our modern labs. Core electrical
engineering subjects are studied in the next two years in order to
provide a firm foundation for a variety of advanced topics,
concentrations and specializations. In the fifth year, students
typically specialize in an area of professional interest while
undertaking a significant multidisciplinary senior design project
that leverages their comprehensive knowledge of the art while
providing a fertile ground for interactions with colleagues from
other disciplines.
Farrukh Khan
"Joining RIT Dubai is one of the best
decisions I have ever made. The vast
hands-on learning experiences and
enriching co-op opportunities are one
of the main reasons why I chose RIT
Dubai.
The faculty and staff are all dedicated to
student success and innovation, making
RIT Dubai and the electrical engineering
department an exciting place to learn. Another great aspect of this
university is that here we get a chance to interact with students from
other countries and learn their cultures and traditions."
POSSIBLE CAREER OPTIONS
Because RIT Dubai graduates are adept at problem solving and
have real-world experience and team skills, they are in high
demand. Our electrical engineering alumni work in every
conceivable industry, from medical to military, power distribution
to communication and financial services. The computer industry
attracts many of our graduates, who are innovators with a track
record of success in areas as diverse as research and development
to marketing and sales.

FOCUS AREAS
COOPERATIVE EDUCATION
Students may develop a focus area in one of four options. Students
complete all the required courses for the BS in electrical engineering
and choose their free and professional electives from a specified set of
courses in one of the following areas: Renewable Energy / Computer
Engineering / Robotics / Wireless Communication.*
Cooperative education is a full-time paid work experience in the student’s
field of study. The Electrical Engineering co-op curriculum requires the
completion of 50 weeks in one or more of the Electrical Engineering
domains such as devices and integrated circuits, computer and digital
systems, signal processing, control, and communications. Co-op can be
completed in two 25-week blocks; each block is a summer and a regular
semester.
* Students admitted to the RIT Dubai campus may pursue their degrees towards a BS in
general Electrical Engineering. The other options are available only through an
exchange or transfer arrangement, which are subject to achieving additional respective
requirements and approvals as outlined in the academic policies and procedures.
Co-op is designed to be a learning experience for the student as well as a
productive working assignment for the employer. The experience should
emphasize real-world tasks and responsibilities that grow with the
student's increased knowledge, skills, and experiences.
