As an electrical engineering major, you’ll gain in-depth expertise in the electrical devices and technologies that shape our world, from microprocessors and inductors to radio frequency identification and robotics.
In a collaborative, hands-on environment, you’ll build radar equipment, experiment with microcontrollers and explore many other aspects of electrical engineering. Bonus? Nearly 100 percent of our electrical engineering students find work within two months of graduation — and many commit to jobs before they even graduate.
Our bachelor of science in electrical engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
As an electrical engineering major, you will:
You’ll have the opportunity to take part in internships and other experiential learning opportunities, or co-ops. It’s your chance to gain real-world experience working for industry leaders like Raytheon, Fidelity Investments, Phillips Medical and the MIT Lincoln Laboratory.
As a graduate of our electrical engineering program, you’ll be well equipped to pursue advanced studies or a career in electrical engineering. Possible positions for electrical engineering majors include:
If you’re interested in the high-demand electrical power industry, we offer an optional concentration in power engineering. There is a growing demand for new power engineers as more renewable energy and sustainable energy options are available or being developed. Courses include topics in energy generation, power quality and energy savings. We also require a senior design project relating to the power industry.
Our department has a student branch of the IEEE Power and Energy Society.
