Lightning may not strike twice, but you can graduate twice in a fraction of the time
with this dual degree program.
UNT’s College of Engineering and TWU’s College of Arts and Science are offering a
unique opportunity for students interested in math and engineering. Students can now
attend both universities simultaneously and graduate with a bachelor of science in
mathematics from TWU and a bachelor of science in electrical engineering from UNT.

Dual Degree in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics Courses You Could Take
Communications Systems (3 hrs)
This course includes an introduction to the concepts of transmission of information
via communication channels; amplitude and angle modulation for the transmission of
continuous-time signals; analog-to-digital conversion and pulse code modulation; transmission
of digital data; introduction to random signals and noise and their effects on communication;
and optimum detection systems in the presence of noise.
Engineering Electromagnetics (3 hrs)Topics include electromagnetic theory as applied
to electrical engineering
vector calculus; electrostatics and magnetostatics; Maxwell’s equations, including
Poynting’s theorem and boundary conditions; uniform plane-wave propagation; transmission
lines – TEM modes, including treatment of general, lossless line and pulse propagation;
introduction to guided waves; and introduction to radiation and scattering concepts.
Introduction to Electrical Engineering (3 hrs)
Learning to Learn (L2L) is based on sound cognitive and pedagogical techniques that
improve learning outcomes and make lifelong learning habitual. Students develop an
understanding of how engineering is learned and how they can facilitate and develop
the lifelong learning process, both individually and in teams.
Analog and Digital Circuit Design Project (3 hrs)
Students learn to use basic electrical engineering lab equipment, to build and test
simple circuits in the lab and to design and analyze circuits using CAD software tools.
Includes simulation and design experiments and a final comprehensive design project
to complement the circuit analysis course.
Modern Communication System Design Project (3 hrs)
Students are required to design electronic communication systems with electronic devices
such as MOS transistors, capacitors and resistors. Topics include LC circuits and
oscillators, AM modulation, SSB communications and FM modulation.
Signals and Systems (3 hrs)
Topics include elementary concepts of continuous-time and discrete-time signals and
systems; linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, impulse response, convolution, Fourier
series, Fourier transforms and frequency-domain analysis of LTI systems; and laplace
transforms, z-transforms and rational function descriptions of LTI systems.
