奶糖直播

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers a full-time academic program leading to a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 4 years or a dual major in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 4.5 years.

A student may also be able to obtain a bachelor鈥檚 degree and a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering in 5 years.

What is Electrical Engineering?

Electrical engineers use mathematics, science and technology to design, construct and maintain a wide array of products, services and information systems. From the nanoscale to the macroscale, products and systems that utilize electromagnetic waves, electrons and photons in their operation belong to the field of electrical engineering.

Why 奶糖直播?

What makes 奶糖直播鈥檚 Electrical and Computer Engineering department unique is our commitment to community:

• Between students who learn teamwork, communication and problem-solving skills together during classes and in clubs
• With faculty who value your success and take the time to get to know you鈥攂y name
• In the world outside of 奶糖直播, where we engage in service learning trips, study abroad experiences and STEM outreach programs
• Through Nova Nation whose alumni are there to mentor, guide and support our students during their time here and after they graduate

Areas of Study

All undergraduates in Electrical Engineering study the following:

• Analog and digital electronics
• Communication systems
• Control systems
• DC and AC circuits
• Electric energy systems
• Electromagnetics
• Electronic materials and devices
• Signal processing

As an upperclassman, you can choose an area of specialization:

• Biomedical engineering (instrumentation and system design)
• Electric energy systems (renewable energy and electric machines and drives)
• Electronics (integrated circuits, optoelectronics, power, and communication)
• Embedded systems (microcontrollers, mobile devices, and control theory)
• High frequency systems (photonics and RF and microwave circuit design)
• Signal processing (digital systems and biomedical applications)

Related minors鈥攊ncluding Biomedical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, Mechatronics and Humanitarian Engineering鈥攐ffer an opportunity for more in-depth study.

Real-World Opportunities

Over three semesters, students complete a real-world senior capstone design project with a team of fellow Electrical and Computer Engineering majors. These projects are often sponsored by industry partners or reflect international service work.

Recent undergraduate projects include:

• 3D modeling using photogrammetry
• Alternative and augmented communication device
• Miniaturized functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS)
• Formula SAE electric vehicle powertrain design
• CubeSat electrical power subsystem design
