What you'll study in a Electrical Engineering program

  • Circuit analysis and design (DC/AC, Kirchhoff's laws, network theorems)
  • Analog and digital electronics (transistors, op-amps, logic gates)
  • Signals and systems, Fourier and Laplace transforms, and digital signal processing
  • Electromagnetics and transmission lines
  • Microcontrollers, embedded systems, and firmware (C, assembly)
  • Control systems and feedback theory
  • Power systems, electric machines, and power electronics
  • Lab instrumentation, PCB design, and senior capstone design project

Where a Electrical Engineering degree can lead

  • Electrical Engineer
  • Electronics Engineer
  • Power Systems Engineer
  • Embedded Systems Engineer
  • Hardware Design Engineer
  • Controls Engineer

Typical pay: $70,000–$95,000 early-career (BLS, 2024 electrical engineers median $111,910)

An Electrical Engineering (EE) major builds on a heavy math and physics core, calculus through differential equations, linear algebra, and physics with electromagnetism, then layers on circuit analysis, electronics, signals and systems, electromagnetics, and digital logic. Most EE programs are credit-heavy ABET-accredited BS degrees that culminate in a senior capstone design project and let students concentrate in areas such as power systems, control systems, communications, signal processing, microelectronics, or embedded systems.

Graduates can design analog and digital circuits, model and process signals, work with microcontrollers and embedded firmware, and analyze power and control systems. EE work spans semiconductors, telecommunications, power and energy, aerospace and defense, automotive, consumer electronics, and instrumentation. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment of electrical engineers to grow 7.2% from 2024 to 2034.

The bachelor's degree is the typical entry credential. Graduates working on systems that affect public safety, particularly in power, can pursue a Professional Engineer (PE) license through the Fundamentals of Engineering exam followed by supervised experience, while others continue to a master's or PhD for research and specialized design roles.
