Program Description

The Electrical Engineering (EE) program comprises the first two years of coursework for a professional program in engineering at a four-year institution and lays the foundation for being a successful engineer and for doing well in the EE professional program. Electrical engineers do everything from designing software and enhancing cellphones to developing test equipment used in the electrical power system which is connected to homes. Along with introductory courses, you will take courses in the basic engineering sciences, physics, math and chemistry.
