A degree in electrical engineering prepares students to develop solutions to urgent problems in areas such as power, communications, computing and networking.
Electrical engineers work with electromagnetic fields and electricity for use in communications, biotechnology applications and electronic circuits. The core of electrical engineering is the ability to work with sensors, acquire data, communicate electronically, process signals and information, model complex systems, and integrate various sources of energy in distributed systems.
Within the bachelor's degree program, emphases are available in renewable energy and biomedical engineering.
