The science and engineering education programs at PCIU emphasize hands-on-experiences of students in labs.Labs play a central role in supporting faculty and student research. For these reasons, the university is committed to developing and maintaining well structured labs for students and faculty members. PCIU has developed one of the best lab facilities in the country for electrical and electronic engineering.Electrical engineering is the study of electric power distribution, motors and generators. It is also includes robotics, communications, circuits, electromagnetic fields and digital and analog hardware. Engineering design and applications are stressed in upper division courses. The major strengths of this program lie in its faculty, the basic philosophy on which the curriculum is built, and the outstanding laboratory facilities in the engineering building. The curriculum is based on providing a sound engineering background with small class sizes. Prospective students are urged to discuss their plans as early as possible with their high school or community college counselor. The EEE Department office is available for individual advising and encourages all students, both prospective and enrolled.
