Faculty of Engineering

Electrical Engineers apply electronic and electromagnetic/optical design principles to design, build, and test analog or digital devices, circuits, and systems – for processing, communication, and storage of information; distribution, conversion, and storage of energy; and process automation or robotics. Application areas include communication, manufacturing, power and energy, health care, computing, security, entertainment, and many others. By their choice of elective courses, students specialize in the following broad domains:

• Systems for communication, control, or power
• Digital hardware, software, and the computer as a component
• Electronic, radio-frequency, or optical devices, circuits, and fabrication

All courses in Computer Engineering are also accessible to Electrical Engineering students (but extra courses in discrete mathematics, compilers, or real-time operating systems may be prerequisites for study in some areas).

The Electrical Engineering program is controlled and administered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). More information is available by contacting the ECE Undergraduate Office or browsing the ECE website.
