Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering

At Saint Louis University’s School of Science and Engineering, we have developed a unique, hands-on Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program that incorporates analysis, design and development of electrical systems. As a student in the electrical engineering program at SLU, you will gain a solid foundation through a combination of coursework and hands-on learning. You will use the physical properties of electricity and mathematics to design systems that collect, analyze and use information as well as distribute and utilize electrical energy and design the electrical systems that are at the heart of today’s technology such as smartphones, tablets, internet-ready televisions, satellites and many other devices. SLU's electrical engineering program coursework provides students with both breadth and depth in electrical engineering. The program develops in students the ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, sciences and electrical engineering to find solutions to practical problems. It ensures that graduates have an opportunity to work on multidisciplinary teams and develop effective communication skills. In addition to a strong focus on core areas of electrical engineering, the program provides a design experience that is integrated throughout the program by introducing fundamental elements of the design process throughout student coursework. The program also includes a two-semester design sequence to provide a meaningful and significant engineering design experience that focuses on and prepares students for professional practice. With easy access to a sophisticated design laboratory and other technological spaces, graduates will have the necessary skills to enter the profession as productive and effective engineers or to pursue graduate education. SLU's B.S. in electrical engineering is designed to give students the tools they need to excel regardless of the industry in which they choose to work.
