The goal of the electrical engineering undergraduate program is "to prepare the graduates for entry-level positions as electrical engineers for the broad range of opportunities available in industrial, commercial, and governmental organizations, and to prepare the graduates for continued learning experiences either in a formal graduate program or in continuing education applications."
Electrical engineering applies the laws of electrical energy and principles of engineering to a variety of uses that directly affect the lives of most of the world’s population. Work in electrical engineering is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary as electrical devices are used in medicine, ecology, chemistry and other fields.
