The Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno was established in 1917. The department’s undergraduate programs have been fully and continuously accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology (ABET) since 1937.
Graduates from our programs are currently employed by industry and federal agencies that include INTEL, Raytheon, Area 51, the FBI, General Electric, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, NV Energy Sierra Pacific Power Corporation, International Game Technology, and the Sierra Nevada Corporation. This is to name but a few.
Many of our undergraduate students go on to attain graduate and professional degrees in electrical engineering and other professional areas including medicine, law, biomedical engineering and business.
Advanced degrees in electrical engineering or biomedical engineering lead to leadership positions in industry, government and academia. A degree from the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno is, quite literally, a gateway to the world of high technology.
The Electrical and Biomedical Engineering Department offers coursework leading to the following undergraduate and graduate degrees
UNDERGRADUATE Degrees Offered
GRADUATE DEGREES OFFERED
Coursework leading to the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree provides students with state of the art knowledge and training in the core areas that comprise the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. These areas include Circuit Analysis and Design, Analog and Digital Electronics, Electromagnetics, Power Systems, Control Systems, and Digital Signal and Image Processing.
The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics degree provides interested students a more flexible curriculum which encourages study in both Electrical Engineering and the foundations of Physics.
Both the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering are tailored to meet the needs and interests of individual students. Based on student research interests, custom programs of study are developed by the student’s graduate faculty committee. Advanced degrees in Electrical Engineering lead to leadership positions in instrumentation companies, state and federal governmental agencies, and higher education.
Biomedical Engineering programs are inter-disciplinary graduate programs that culminate in the Master of Science and/or Doctor of Philosophy degrees. These research-oriented programs are designed to prepare students for a competitive, professional career in biomedical engineering (or bioengineering). Research emphasis can be in a wide range of areas including (but not limited to): biophysics, biofluid mechanics, biomedical instrumentation, biosensors, biostatistical analysis of medical data bases, high-rate imaging, numerical simulations, X-ray-based technologies, fluorescence imaging and studies of the biological effects of electromagnetic fields.
