We are excited to share with you that the B.S. in Electrical Engineering has merged with the B.S. in Computer Engineering into an exciting B.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) degree. Click here for information on our new program. Transfer students are still being accepted into the B.S. in Electrical Engineering program provided they are accepted into the program and begin study in Spring 2024 or sooner.
Learn to Power the World
Consider where we would be without power plants, televisions, cell phones, and biomedical devices. Consider all the progress still to come in the fields of fiber optics, computers, and robots. The real-world implications of advances in electrical engineering are immense, and the possibilities are endless.
As an electrical engineering major at the University of New 51¶ºÄÌ, you will study the behavior of electrons in three areas — electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism — as you learn to design, develop, and oversee the operation of electrical and electronic systems.
Learn from professors who are dedicated to your success.
Our faculty are leaders and innovators in their fields, bringing both deep professional experience and academic rigor to the classroom.
