Electrical Engineering (B.S.)

Working to solve tomorrow's energy and electronic needs.

Electrical engineers play key roles in solving technical problems in many areas, including:

• Biomedical engineering
• Communications
• Computers and digital hardware
• Electronic materials and sensor devices
• Image processing
• Control systems
• Alternative energy and power systems

The electrical engineering program combines a strong foundation in mathematics, science and engineering with hands-on learning that prepares students to design innovative technologies and solve complex engineering challenges. Students develop expertise in circuits, electronics, signals and systems, electromagnetics, digital and microprocessor systems, electronic materials and devices, and power and energy systems while gaining the analytical and problem-solving skills valued by employers.

Throughout the program, students apply what they learn through laboratory experiences, collaborative projects and design courses. The curriculum culminates in a yearlong capstone design project, where multidisciplinary teams partner with industry sponsors or SDSU researchers to develop solutions to real-world engineering challenges. This practical experience prepares graduates to confidently enter the workforce or pursue advanced study.
