Our electrical engineering majors are part of a long line of distinguished students and professionals. The department of electrical and computer engineering was founded in 1902 by?Charles Proteus Steinmetz, America's leading engineer at the time and a professor at Union.

Students hone their abilities in analytic reasoning, design and problem-solving. Combined with the depth, breadth and flexibility of our liberal arts curriculum, the electrical engineering major is a powerful field of study that produces graduates who are highly attractive to employers.

Small classes, integrated studio-format courses and close faculty-student interaction are all hallmarks of our program. All courses are taught by Union College faculty members, and most classes have fewer than 20 students.
