Electrical Engineering is the discipline that drives our increasingly-connected society. Electrical engineers design systems, devices, and algorithms that contribute innovative solutions across a broad spectrum of applications. The Electrical Engineering program offers the following concentrations: bioengineering, communications and networking, control and robotics, electronics, machine learning in electrical engineering, power systems and smart grid, signal processing, and space-based systems.
The graduates of our program develop reliable, secure, and high-speed communication networks and systems, apply modern signal processing algorithms to extract information from images, audio, video, sonar, and radio signals, apply machine-learning, control theory, and robotics foundations to applications such as autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots, and multi-agent systems, develop state-of-the-art power systems based on the ideas of sustainability, adaptability, security, and resilience, design nanoscale devices for the highly integrated circuits that drive the Internet of Things, health-monitoring devices, smartphones, tablets, and modern-day computer systems, develop prosthetic devices, brain-machine interfaces, and systems to ameliorate neurological disorders. Students in this program will develop theoretical foundations, analytical capabilities, and practical hands-on skills in their chosen field of specialization.
