SDSU's Electrical Engineering (EE) program began in 1899 and has been on the leading edge of EE innovation ever since. Offering education at three degree levels, our Electrical Engineering program is truly a regional leader. In August 2022, the EE program was re-accredited.

What is Electrical Engineering?

The Electrical Engineering discipline is concerned with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism.

  • biomedical engineering
  • computers and digital hardware
  • control systems
  • electrical and alternative power
  • electronic materials and sensor devices
  • signal and image processing
  • telecommunications

Electrical engineers work everywhere in South Dakota, throughout the U.S. and internationally. Electrical engineers enjoy exciting careers in research, design and development, manufacturing, sales and corporate management. SDSU's EE graduates are in great demand and are rewarded with high starting salaries.
