Electrical Engineering (BS)

Electrical engineers apply the laws of electrical phenomena to design, develop and improve electronics and solid-state devices, and to control, convert and distribute energy. Electrical engineers design operational technology used in industrial control systems in many industries and organizations.

Students at HBU in the Electrical Engineering program will enjoy learning in context, working together with classmates and professors to design and build real electrical and electronic systems which function like those that are commercially available, or industrially applicable. The first two years of the program provide fundamental knowledge and skills in mathematics (e.g. calculus, linear algebra), physics, basic engineering, and computer programming, with the opportunity to implement and demonstrate those skills in a sequence of projects. Additional concepts in electrical circuits and electronics, microprocessors, and computer systems in the second year help prepare students for more advanced subjects and projects in the upper levels. Students will learn from professors, and engage with industry partners.

Houston Baptist University offers an intimate college environment in the heart of one of the most vibrant and diverse cities in the United States: Houston, Texas. Coming to HBU as a student is about more than books, tests, and lectures. It is about stepping into a community where each person is recognized as a distinct individual. HBU strives to not only develop each student academically but spiritually, physically, and relationally as well. With an average class size of 25, the more than 3,000 students of HBU get the personal attention they want and need.

The beautiful 100-acre campus is located just minutes from the city’s thriving downtown district, and the opportunities for jobs, internships, and fun surround it. The University has a very diverse student body, with an ethnic composition similar to that of America’s fourth-largest city. Although HBU is a Christian institution, a number of other world religions are represented within the student body, adding to the institution’s diversity.
