Why Study Electrical Engineering?

Electrical engineering is all about energy — electromagnetic energy, to be precise.

Electrical engineers are involved in the design, manufacture and operation of all things electrical, from cell phones to supercomputers to space probes. Almost every major industry employs electrical engineers.

As an electrical engineering major at Merrimack College, you will sharpen your skills in mathematics, physics, and engineering and learn how to apply them in a global, economic, environmental and societal context. You’ll be well prepared to pursue graduate work or any number of exciting professions.
