Electrical Engineering Program Overview

Electrical engineering is about designing and improving electric circuits to get the most out of our powered gadgets and high-tech tools. From electronic sensors in the soil, to the chips inside orbiting satellites, electrical engineering is what makes our modern world work. Electrical engineers use the principles of physics, mathematics, computer science, and design to create solutions that turn ideas into reality.
