About our Program
Cleaner energy
As we move toward cleaner energy sourcing and upgrade existing power grids, electrical engineers will lead the way for our nation’s projects as we enhance our infrastructure. Moreover, electrical engineers may play a role in assisting with the automation of various production processes.
New technology
Electrical engineering expertise will be needed to design distribution systems related to new technologies. As new discoveries in technologies are made, electrical engineers will work hand-in-hand to make innovative designs a tangible reality. A degree in electrical engineering will offer students the needed instruction to fill key roles in new developments with solar arrays, semiconductors and communications technologies.
Learn to build, repair and calibrate equipment on-site. Also, understand how to troubleshoot and solve developmental programs through testing electrical systems. Students will become fully versed in circuit board, processor, and chip use in maintenance and function of electrical equipment. Along the same lines, they will also learn to integrate computer hardware and software applications and programming to assist with equipment analysis.
