Electrical Engineering

The electrical engineering profession makes possible a wide variety of products, systems, and services that support and enhance the modern world we live in. Areas of growth include telecommunications, computers and computer networks, control, microelectronics, photonics, power generation and distribution, medical imaging, and micro-sensors.

The electrical engineering program, accredited by ABET/EAC, provides a foundation in physics, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering fundamentals. Advanced courses include electronics, signal analysis, logic design, power engineering, computers, automatic control, and communications. Upon graduation from the program, students find employment in areas such as design, testing, development, research, and sales. Students are also prepared for graduate study.

The electrical engineering program provides:

• a basis in the natural and engineering sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences
• an opportunity to choose more specialized study through senior year electives
• an opportunity to participate in the co-op program
• minors in engineering, mathematics, science, business, social science, and humanities
• a double major in physics whereby typical students may graduate in both physics and electrical engineering in four years.
