The objective of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department is to prepare students for a successful professional career in electrical or computer engineering. The curriculum is structured to provide each student with a sound background in the basic and engineering sciences and a thorough foundation in Electrical Engineering for the analysis and design of electrical and electronic circuits and systems. Have you ever wondered who created that spine-tingling ride you love so much at the amusement park? Have you ever thought about why today’s cars are more fuel-efficient and cause less pollution? Or who came up with instant messaging? The answer is Engineers. Whether it’s cell phones, digital cameras, DVDs, or facial recognition devices that can pick out a terrorist in a crowded football stadium, engineers are behind almost all of today’s exciting technology. Every year, nearly 100,000 new college students enroll in engineering programs. Program Highlights MSTEEW - Engineering Go For It! The curriculum provides courses necessary for technical competencies as well as courses and seminars on professional ethics and the responsibilities of the Engineer. The program is offered with four areas of emphasis Computer Engineering Communications and Processing Microelectronics and Power Control; Systems Signal What is Electrical Engineering? If you can switch it on, chances are that an Electrical Engineer had something to do with it. Electrical Engineers are the movers and shakers of the energy world, where they convert energy from natural sources and move it to homes, factories, and businesses. Electrical Engineers also move information from place to place by television, satellite transmissions, and cell phones. What is Computer Engineering? Prairie View A&M University DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING Computer Engineers deal with all aspects of computer systems including design, construction, and operation. Consequently, computer engineers can specialize in digital systems, operating systems, computer networks, software, and hardware. Since these logic devices are in everything – cars, toasters, telephones – computer engineers are rarely at a loss for work. Also computer engineers work within other engineering subdisciplines. This is a two day workshop for math and science teachers. Math and science teachers admitted to the workshop will be presented with information that will help them to understand Engineering, and applications of Mathematics in Engineering that the teachers can use in their classrooms to excite students interest in engineering. MSTEE Workshop The mission of the MSTEE Workshop is to provide the teachers with resources that the can be used in their classrooms to excite students interest in engineering. The workshop includes: (i) real hands-on experiments using Infintiy tool kit, Lego robots and sensor technology experiments (ii) application of Algebra and Trigonometry, and Calculus I in Engineering. They will also serve as an important link in recruiting student to pursue Engineering, Mathematics, Science, and Technology.
