In the  programme offered by  students choose between two concentrations. The Electrical Engineering concentration covers a broad range of electrical engineering subdiscplines and allows a student to focus on their particular area of interest using technical electives. Lasers and Optical Engineering focuses on optics and waves, optical electronics, optical information processing, and communications.

Concentrations

  • Electrical Engineering Concentration
  • Lasers and Optical Engineering Concentration

Imagine a world without smart phones, video games, or 3D printing. Such advancements would not be possible without electrical engineers. Electrical Engineering students are prepared for success in today's high-tech world through stimulating coursework and unique hands-on design projects. They will learn a new way of thinking that teaches the importance of creativity and innovation in solving complex societal problems.

Electrical engineers are the people who make the magic happen inside modern technologies. From self-driving cars to Fitbits to Global Positioning Systems, Electrical Engineering graduates turn ideas into reality.

Electrical Engineering students will experience the benefits of a smaller department with top-tier faculty, while enjoying the perks of a large university. Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) courses and research areas span a range of disciplines that include:

  • Biomedical Engineering

  • Communications and Signal Processing

  • Computer Engineering

  • Controls and Robotics

  • Electric Power and Energy Systems

  • Electromagnetics and Remote Sensing

  • Lasers, Optics, and Applications

Careers

A field of endless possibilities, electrical engineering career paths are largely dependent on personal interests. Electrical Engineering alumni hold positions ranging from designer at a start-up company to program manager for NASA. In addition to being one of the most lucrative college majors, for the past decade Electrical Engineering ranks among the top 10 majors in demand for bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Almost every industry recruits Electrical Engineering graduates, including the aerospace, biomedical, energy, robotics, manufacturing, and automotive industries.
