Overview

Anything that has a screen or a switch involves electrical engineering, and usually quite of lot of it. Electrical Engineering has been the prime enabler of our modern civilization: from the computers you are using this very moment to cell phones, industrial and manufacturing operations and process, the Internet of Things (IoT), defense, power systems, energy and energy efficiency, household appliances, robotics, automobiles (electric and those with internal combustion engines) any many, many more. Our program enables students to learn all of the fundamental basics of this field with classroom instruction and hands-on experiential learning.

All students complete a two-semester design sequence during which they come up with an idea for something that fulfills a need that no one has done before. Some of our student projects include:

a fitness mirror for monitoring personal goals such as weight loss

an empty parking space detection and display system working with an app on a smart phone
a motorized assisted bicycle
smart football equipment
motorcyclist's display jacket

a smart home adaptation.
