Professional duties range from analytical problem solving to the design of components and systems.
The scope of employment requires a unique breadth and depth of knowledge and technical skills, which are reflected in the Electrical Engineering program. This program also offers an excellent preparation for graduate education. Building on a foundation of mathematical and physical sciences, students progress into the application of these in the engineering science areas of circuits, electronics, communications, controls, power, and electromagnetics. In these subjects, students also begin to apply the concepts and techniques learned to the design of circuits and systems. Senior technical design courses offer the opportunity to further develop expertise in a selected area.
