Mario G. Reyes, Dept. Chair (301F J. A. Albertson Bldg. 83844-3161; phone 208/885-7146; mreyes@uidaho.edu). Faculty: Lori Baker Eveleth, Richard B. Coffman, Raymond Dacey, Ismail H. Genc, Terrance Grieb, Te-Whan Hahn, Doyoung Kim, Thomas J. Liesz, R. Ashley Lyman, Jon R. Miller, Michele O’Neill, Norman Pendegraft, Mario G. Reyes, Mark S. Rounds, Robert W. Stone The three major fields in business economics, finance and information systems leads to the Bachelor of Science in Business (B.S.Bus.) degree. These programs provide a solid foundation in the liberal arts, a broad professional preparation in business, and in-depth course work in a major field. They are designed to prepare the student to excel in a competitive market environment. The Department of Economics, Finance and Information Systems offers a minor in international business. The business economics major prepares students for careers as economic forecasters, bankers, stockbrokers, labor or marketing analysts, lobbyists, or regional development specialists. The department offers three undergraduate economics degree programs, one in the College of Business and Economics and two in the College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences. The essential difference among these programs is that those in the College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences require fewer business courses and allows more electives. The less structured programs in this college follow the liberal arts tradition. A minor in economics is also offered through the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences. The minor in international policy economy is offered jointly through the College of Letters, Arts and Social Science and the College of Business and Economics. The finance major prepares students for careers in a broad range of areas including commercial lending, credit management, risk management, security analysis, portfolio management, financial consulting, and corporate finance. The information systems major prepares students for careers in business consulting, systems analysis and development, data base management, network design and management, and data communications. The international business minor is open only to students with a major in the College of Business and Economics and complements each of the majors in the college and prepares students to extend their disciplinary mastery of the global economy.

Graduate Degree Programs Master of Science. The Department of Business offers an M.S. Economics degree, an integrated course of study oriented toward policy analysis and applied studies. After building a theoretical base and mastering the analytical tools, the student is led to apply theory and use the tools in the analysis of practical policy issues, both public and private. Two types of M.S. degrees are offered: (a) a thesis degree, which provides specialized research experience for careers requiring such expertise, and (b) a non-thesis degree, which provides a broader background for careers where research competency may be desirable but not of primary importance. Both degrees require completion of at least 30 credits of work. Applicants are considered based on evidence of prior performance and potential for success in the program. Students are encouraged to submit Graduate Record Examination scores and letters of recommendation. Non-native speakers of English must score at least 550 on the TOEFL exam. The undergraduate degree need not be in economics, although a minor in economics is desirable. Students with little background in economics, or other deficiencies, will be required to take certain undergraduate courses that may not be included in the graduate study plan. Students admitted to the program must fulfill the requirements of the College of Graduate Studies and of the Department of Economics. Financial assistance is available on a competitive basis. See the College of Graduate Studies section of Part 4 for the general requirements applicable to all M.S. degrees. Executive Master of Business Administration. The UI Executive MBA (EMBA) is a rigorous two-year graduate program in management designed for high potential executives. The EMBA is a lock-step model where students admitted into a class (cohort) begin the program at the same point, take the same sequence of courses throughout the two-year program, and graduate at the same point. The EMBA degree is designed to teach management concepts and an integrated view of business decision making to business executives, mid-level managers, and professionals who have been targeted in succession plans to take on greater managerial responsibility and leadership roles in an organization. Class schedule is formatted to allow students to continue working full time while they pursue their studies. Direct personal interaction in the classroom and in study groups is critical to the learning experience. Using the College of Business and Economics’ award-winning, integrated approach to teaching and learning, CBE faculty examine the relevant themes of leadership, globalization, sustainability, decision-making, and relationship management to bridge the gap between academic theory and workplace practice. The University of Idaho College of Business and Economics faculty are among an elite group of U.S. business school leaders who have mastered team teaching and learning. The integrated program themes create a context for participants as they master the traditional functional areas of accounting, finance, management, marketing, information systems, and operations management. Idaho’s integrated approach to learning prepares managers for the complex leadership challenges of today’s—and tomorrow’s—business environment.

Electrical engineering involves the application of electrical phenomena for the benefit of society. Electrical engineers design and use circuits and systems for computers, instruments, communications devices, and power conversion equipment. The objectives of the electrical engineering program are to produce graduates who (a) have a sound foundation in the principles of science and mathematics and can apply these principles to the solution of technological problems; (b) understand, and are proficient in the use of, the modern theory, techniques, and tools used to solve problems in electrical engineering; (c) can design new products and solve new problems in electrical engineering, and can enhance their technical skills through lifelong learning; (d) can work and communicate effectively, either independently or in a team, to solve technological problems using engineering principles; and (e) have a sound understanding of the human and social ramifications of technological solutions and apply their engineering skills for the overall benefit of society. Students in the electrical engineering program are assigned a faculty advisor upon entry into the program. The advisor helps the student prepare appropriate class schedules each semester and provides guidance on other academic and professional issues. Students can take an electrical engineering course in their freshman year that introduces them to the field and helps prepare them for further study. Required courses in the freshman year help develop a solid foundation in physics, chemistry, mathematics, and writing. Foundation courses in science, mathematics, and engineering are continued in the sophomore year, including the first two courses in electrical circuits. The junior year exposes the student to a wide variety of electrical engineering courses to develop breadth in electrical engineering knowledge and skills. In the senior year, students specialize in specific areas of electrical engineering through the choice of technical electives. Students also take a two-semester sequence of design courses where students learn to design, test, and build an electrical engineering circuit or system. Additional courses in the humanities, social sciences, and English help prepare the graduate to become a well-rounded and productive member of society. Computer Engineering Undergraduate Program. Computer engineering involves the application of the principles of electrical engineering and computer science for the benefit of society. Computer engineers design and use digital computers for instrumentation, control, communication, and power conversion systems. The objectives of the computer engineering program are to produce graduates who (a) have a sound foundation in the principles of science and mathematics and can apply these principles to the solution of technological problems; (b) understand, and are proficient in the use of, the modern theory, techniques, and tools used to solve problems in computer engineering; (c) can design new products and solve new problems in computer engineering, and can enhance their technical skills through lifelong learning; (d) can work and communicate effectively, either independently or in a team, to solve technological problems using engineering principles; and (e) have a sound understanding of the human and social ramifications of technological solutions and apply their engineering skills for the overall benefit of society. Students in the computer engineering program are assigned a faculty advisor upon entry into the program. The advisor helps the student prepare appropriate class schedules each semester and provides guidance on other academic and professional issues. In the freshman year, students take introductory courses in physics, mathematics, and computer science to help develop a solid foundation based on these fundamental areas.

Graduate Degree Programs Candidates must fulfill the requirements of the College of Graduate Studies and of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. See the College of Graduate Studies section of Part 4 for the general requirements applicable to each degree. COMPUTER ENGINEERING The Computer Engineering Program offers both Master of Science and Master of Engineering degrees. Both degrees may be earned through the Engineering Outreach off campus program. These advanced degrees offer engineering students an opportunity to strengthen their knowledge of computer engineering by taking graduate courses that focus on advanced subject matter and by participating in research. Qualifications for Admittance. Candidates must have a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, with an undergraduate GPA of 2.80 or higher. International students who are required to take the TOEFL examination by the College of Graduate Studies must have a TOEFL score of at least 79 for the Internet-based Test (iBT) version, 213 for the computer version, or 550 for the paper version. All candidates must submit scores from the general portion of the Graduate Record Examination. Candidates who do not have a bachelor's degree in computer engineering may be admitted to the graduate program if, in addition to the requirements for candidates who have a B.S.Comp.E., they meet the following minimum requirements. 1. A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or another engineering discipline or in a supporting area of

study such as mathematics or physics. 2. Demonstrated proficiency in the fundamentals of computer engineering emphasized in the undergraduate curriculum.

Proficiency is demonstrated by successful completion of the following fundamental courses: Fundamentals of Electronics (ECE 310), Digital Logic (ECE 240), Computer Organization and Architecture (CS 150), Computer Science II (CS 121), Discrete Mathematics (Math 176), Differential Equations (Math 310), Linear Algebra (Math 330). Some deficiencies may be removed by taking background courses through Engineering Outreach. Students with undergraduate course deficiencies in the fundamentals of computer engineering must remove these deficiencies prior to admission for graduate work. Such deficiency courses cannot be used for graduate credit.

3. Two advanced undergraduate courses in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science equivalent to

Computer Operating Systems (CS 341), Digital Systems Engineering (ECE 440). Students with undergraduate course deficiencies in the advanced areas of computer engineering must remove these deficiencies either prior to admission or in the first three semesters of graduate work. Such deficiency courses cannot be used for graduate credit.
