Electrical Engineering Major

Throughout human history engineers have expressed their skill in the art of designing bridges, buildings, steam trains and mechanical typewriters. Then came the Electrical Engineer! Electrical Engineers are at the forefront of the technology leading to the dramatic increase in communications and the internet, the accelerated use of electric powered vehicles and alternatives, improved health care, the dominating influence of the computer on modern society, and a host of other developments to benefit mankind. This widespread and expanding use of electronic equipment in virtually all fields has made electrical & computer engineering the largest of all scientific disciplines and assures a continuing demand for electrical engineering graduates throughout business and government.
