Electrical engineers are at the forefront of developing technologies to improve and enhance our society. They are involved with understanding the fundamentals of nature to improve design methods and techniques, as well as applying their creativity to solving challenging problems. Electrical engineers design and analyze systems for supplying electric power; navigation systems for automobiles, aircraft, and spacecraft; audio and visual communication systems; and systems for information processing and computing.

The major in electrical engineering provides the undergraduate student with a broad understanding of the many areas within the field of electrical engineering. At the same time, the curriculum provides a choice of technical electives designed to strengthen the student in a chosen area of specialization.

Mission Statement

The Department of Electrical Engineering is committed to outstanding undergraduate and graduate education, distinguished research programs, and strong service to our students, professional and technical societies, and the community.
