Electric devices, systems, power and energy are essential components of our daily life, so there is always a high demand for making them better. Among others, electrical engineers design and develop systems ranging from massive power grids and global communications networks to tiny integrated circuits inside computers and personal electronics. Important applications include power generation and distribution, sustainable energy systems, hybrid-electric technologies, manufacturing automation, aerospace systems, robotics, sensors and instrumentation, imaging systems, semiconductors, and many others. Our students gain important practical professional experience through the optional Co-op and Placement Program. Co-op students alternate semesters of work and school following their sophomore year. They earn competitive salaries while on co-op and graduate with one full year of professional work experience. Our comprehensive curriculum prepares students to identify, formulate, and implement solutions to real-world problems. Students learn how to use modern engineering tools in well-equipped laboratories, with activities that reinforce the concepts learned in the classroom. Electrical engineering fundamentals, such as courses in Circuits, Physical Electronics and Signals & Systems are followed by more advanced courses in electromagnetics and electronic design to provide a deep knowledge of electrical systems. Starting in the first year, students can join a wide variety of competition teams, working on projects ranging from firefighting robots to hybrid electric vehicles. Students learn to manage large projects, deal with budgets, and interact with students from other disciplines and at other universities.
