Electrical Engineering is the profession concerned with systems that generate, transmit, process, and measure useful information.
Advanced technology pervades our lives in such areas as communications, electronics and computers.
It is truly an exciting time to be an electrical engineer, designing and building the technology of the future. The next-generation electrical engineer will need to integrate knowledge across many disciplines in engineering as well as in physical sciences, mathematics, business, and humanities. At the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Engineering, we have developed an electrical engineering program that meets this challenge and will prepare the student for a highly rewarding career in this rapidly growing field. Starting in the Fall of 2000, the Electrical Engineering program is offering a track in Computer Engineering for those students who are interested in a career in the design and manufacture of computer-based systems. Computer engineers are responsible for developing the powerful computer systems that are becoming part of our everyday life.
