LET'S GET DIGITAL
Electrical Engineering Student Discovery From PCs to PDAs, and DVDs to MP3s, electrical engineers design and build the alphabet soup of conveniences that have become a part of our daily lives. They also design and build the systems that make these products work — from the electrical components within the devices to the power plants and communication networks that feed them.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering

THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY. Work on cutting-edge research as an undergraduate through our research centers: Sensor Technology; Materials Science and Technology; and Intelligent Systems, Controls and Signal Processing.

TAKE YOUR TIME CHOOSING A MAJOR. The first two years of both electrical engineering majors is exactly the same. This means you start studying electrical engineering immediately and learn the fundamentals before choosing a major your junior year.

THREE FOR ONE. You can combine your major in electrical engineering with a major in computer engineering and still have room for a minor in another area — such as philosophy, physics or math — all in five years and without summer school.

ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING. Focus on designing and building devices, choosing the materials used to make them and developing the circuits and systems that run them. This includes everything from high-power applications like power plants to low-power applications like microchips.

ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING. Apply the expertise of electrical engineering to the realm of computer principles and applications — from the monitor to the motherboard and the processor to the power source.

BE AN ENGINEER BEFORE YOU GRADUATE. Through our co-op program, you’ll incorporate 12 to 16 months of real engineering experience into your curriculum.
