Harnessing the power of electricity! Electrical engineers contribute to a wide variety of projects. With an understanding of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism, they design systems with process information and transmit energy. Electrical engineers also work with engineers from other disciplines to design, build, and test products for virtually every industry.
Electrical engineers focus on coursework that allows them to understand the systems that power our society. In addition to mastering a background in mathematics and physics, electrical engineers specialize in a range of disciplines such as communications, circuits, electromagnetics, digital and analog electronics, telecommunication, digital signal processing, and controls. Electrical engineers may also participate in elective courses that broaden their training through hands-on projects using electrical devices and machines.
