The program begins the first year developing a strong foundation in mathematics, science, and communication. Following this are two intensive years of study in circuit and machine theory, electronics, signal and system theory, electronic material and devices, digital and microprocessor systems. The capstone of the program is Senior Design I and II, a two-semester sequence taken in the senior year that places every student on a team that designs, builds, tests, and demonstrates a significant electrical engineering project. The projects are often in collaboration with SDSU researchers or industry and provide students valuable “real world” team design experience.
