If you major in electrical engineering (EE), you can expect to line up a rewarding job well before you step off the graduation stage. EE is the backbone discipline of today’s technological explosion, from the development of microelectronics and robotics, to the embedded computer systems found in household appliances, automobiles, as well as spacecraft and satellite equipment. Increasingly, it is also the source for innovative solutions to challenges in energy and healthcare.

Your ABET accredited undergraduate degree in electrical engineering will prepare you for a wide range of jobs with major industries, government, or private consulting companies. You might specialize in microelectronics, signals and systems, or computer engineering. Or you might decide to focus on embedded computing, in which computers interface with machinery and other physical systems (such as cars and appliances) for better control. Other popular fields for electrical engineers are intelligent robotics and medical image processing.
