About Tech's Electrical Engineering Department The Department of Electrical Engineering maintains its own homepage . The Department of Electrical Engineering concentrates on a high-quality undergraduate program in electronics and design, combined with a firm intellectual foundation in the fundamentals of circuits, signals, and systems. As with other degree programs at Tech, students are also provided with a breadth of knowledge in the basic sciences, mathematics, humanities, and social sciences.
Laboratories constitute an important part of the electrical engineering program.
Design is integrated into all aspects of the curriculum. This and their other course work prepare students for two Senior Design Project courses, in which students apply material learned in the classroom to real-world problems. Projects are available from the greater Tech community, including Tech research labs, Langmuir Laboratory for Atmospheric Research , the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center , and the VLA and VLBA facilities of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory . Five-year programs are available in which students obtain dual degrees in electrical engineering and in related fields such as computer science, physics, or mathematics. Graduates of Tech's electrical engineering program will be well equipped with the practical skills necessary for immediate employment, as well as with the intellectual base for graduate studies and lifelong learning.
