Overview
The electrical engineering major at Anderson University explores the concepts of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism and how they apply to the generation of power, designing complex electrical systems, and the controlling of electromechanical machines. Students will have the opportunity to see various applications of electrical engineering to electronics, power systems, telecommunications, control systems, and advanced signal processing. Graduates of this program will be given a solid background in the theoretical and applied study of electrical engineering, having been exposed to various techniques and instrumentation.
Electrical Engineering
Students will have the opportunity to expand their creative abilities through design courses that challenge them to engineer products with cost and resources in mind. Whether the product is to be deployed in rural Africa or is being developed by a small start-up firm, materials and cost are becoming increasingly important. The ability of engineers to “be creative with less” is more essential than ever.
Options
- Graduate with a BS in Electrical Engineering in four years.
- Complete the 4+1 program, from BS to MBA.
ABET Accreditation
AU has the same professional accreditation as Big 10, public universities. Sought worldwide, ABET’s voluntary peer-review accreditation process is highly respected because it adds critical value to academic programs in the technical disciplines. ABET accrediation is awarded to engineering programs where quality, precision, and safety are of the utmost importance.
