The Department of Engineering in the College of Technology & Innovation has a multidisciplinary engineering program with a concentration in electrical systems. The multidisciplinary engineering program allows students to learn in a problem-based curriculum with hands-on projects and the development of professional skills integrated into the program. In the junior and senior years, students take electrical engineering courses to complete a concentration in electrical systems. The graduate with an electrical systems concentration will be able to provide leadership in engineering settings, which are intrinsically multidisciplinary in nature, using electrical engineering knowledge to design and implement control systems. Students learn theory and application of sensors, actuators, microcontrollers and microprocessors, power sources and board level implementations of such systems. This major is eligible for the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program at the following location: Polytechnic campus. Students from Western states, who select this major and campus, may be eligible for reduced nonresident tuition at a rate of 150 percent of Arizona resident tuition plus all applicable fees. See more information and eligibility requirements on the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program.

Electrical engineers are in high demand for many industry sectors, especially manufacturing, utilities, communications and defense systems. However, electronic systems also pervade the service sectors such as health care, finance, education and entertainment. Graduates from this program have the broad base of technical and operational skills that make them well suited for employment across the whole spectrum of applications.
