Electrical Engineering

Overview

You may think that electrical engineering is magic - and it kind of is.  Electrical engineering is filled with daring visionaries and bright minds who engage, imagine, and invent. We are the masters of power and energy and light and systems that can turn science fiction into living, breathing science. We are the force that connects people and technologies with elegant devices that fit in the palm of your hand and colossal systems that are beyond imagination. Is that magic? Almost. And we'd love to show you how it works.

Students of the  Electrical Engineering program from Colorado State University choose between three concentrations. The Lasers and Optical Engineering concentration focuses on optics and waves, optical electronics, optical information processing, and communications. The Aerospace Systems concentration offers students an electrical engineering degree foundation and specialized training in the aerospace discipline, including deep-space communications, robotics, embedded systems, flight avionics, and more.
