Electrical Engineering
The electrical engineering discipline is concerned with the development and application of electrical and computer technology to enhance and enrich all aspects of modern life and society. Electrical engineers are engaged in a wide variety of activities that can include:
- Space exploration and remote sensing
- Process control and automation
- Automatic control systems for use in robotics, missiles, aircraft and manufacturing plants
- Electric power generation and distribution, environmentally responsible generation and use of energy
- Audio- video- and data-communication systems, and satellite communications
- Digital processing of signals and images using the computer
- Design and manufacturing of faster and more capable microprocessors
- Applications of technology in the healthcare field
The program features a solid foundation in mathematics and physics, leading to a core of engineering courses focused on electrical engineering, and finally several technical electives and capstone senior design. Our students have access to several well-equipped modern laboratories for computation, simulation and measurement, facilitating a significant experiential and hands-on component in the program.
