Electrical Engineering

Program Overview

Electrical engineering is an exciting and extensive field that applies the principles of science and mathematics with engineering fundamentals which are then used to develop a student's skills needed to analyze, design and build electrical, electronic and photonics systems. The program includes diverse areas of study such as microelectronics, digital communications, wireless systems, photonics systems, signal processing, control, microprocessors, computer technology, energy systems and electronic device fabrication. This breadth is unique to electrical engineering and opens a wide range of career opportunities. As a result, the program also ensures that through their course work, students gain experience in communications, problem-solving and team management. An electrical engineer may be involved in the design, development and testing of electrical and electronic equipment such as telecommunication systems, industrial process controls, signal processing, navigation systems, power generation, transmission systems, wireless and optical communications and integrated circuit engineering.
