ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
General Information:
Electrical Engineering is a broad-based and rapidly growing field that encompasses everything from batteries and power supplies to microchip fabrication to the invention of autonomous robots and devices that can recognize human speech. Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment. Our society depends upon electrical engineers for computer chips, microprocessors, radar systems, electric utilities, machinery controls, lighting, aerospace navigation systems, wiring in buildings and wiring in autos. As an electrical engineer, you might work on robotics, computer networks, wireless communications, or medical imaging—areas that are at the very forefront of technological innovation.
The Bachelor of Innovation in Electrical Engineering provides students with both the technical and business background to work on innovative electrical engineering related projects.
