Degree Programs Electrical Engineering 253 Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Program Graduate Program Electrical engineering is concerned with the understanding and utilization of electricity and with providing society useful, efficient, and economic products and services.
Electrical engineering is an amazingly broad-based and rapidly growing discipline.
It encompasses everything from batteries and power supplies to crystal fabrication, autonomous robots, and devices that can recognize human speech. Electrical engineers design, produce, study, and operate all manners of devices and systems that use electric and electromagnetic energy. Electrical engineers work on systems at the macro scale of electric power grids and at the micro scale of nanotechnology. Contemporary society is in the midst of an information revolution, created in large part from the fruits of electrical engineering. Rapid improvements in communication technologies, computer visualization, and information access continue to have a significant impact on manufacturing, medicine, transportation, and environmental monitoring.
