Electrical Engineering
undergraduate program
The electrical engineering industry is increasingly transdisciplinary as electrical and computing devices are used in wireless communications, medicine, energy, space exploration and the environment. The development of the microprocessor has expanded the opportunities for electrical engineers to improve the design of familiar products such as automobiles, consumer and office products, entertainment systems and a vast variety of test and measurement instruments and machine tools.
Electrical engineers combine the laws of electricity and principles of engineering to a variety of applications that directly affect the daily lives of most of the world’s population, from the development of satellite communication links to a sophisticated patient monitoring system in a hospital trauma unit. Electrical engineers are concerned with a vast array of design and development challenges associated with radio and television transmitters and receivers, telephone networks and switching systems, computer systems and electric power generation and distribution.
Our faculty includes experts in many application areas such as the design of flight control for aircraft and the implementation of neural interfaces for biomedical applications. They are committed to the integration of use-inspired research with locally and globally relevant academic programming, and have achieved national recognition by pursuing the highest-quality activities in research, training and entrepreneurship.
Electrical engineering, B.S.E.: undergraduate students will take basic engineering courses as well as specialty courses in circuits, electromagnetic fields and waves, microprocessors, communication and control systems, solid-state electronics and electrical power systems. Undergraduates in the program prepare for positions as electrical engineers in industrial, commercial and government organizations. Major map
Electrical engineering (electric power and energy systems), B.S.E.: the goal of the electric power and energy systems concentration is to prepare graduates for positions in industries dealing with conventional power generation (fossil fuel and nuclear) and alternative energy systems, including solar, wind and fuel cells.

4 + 1 Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Program in Electrical Engineering:
The 4 + 1 Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Engineering and Master of Science in Engineering in Electrical Engineering (BSE/MSE in EE) degree program will allow accelerated students the opportunity to obtain both a Bachelor’s (BSE) and Master’s (MSE) degree (non-thesis option only) from Electrical Engineering in 5 years. While pursuing the MSE, the student must be registered as a full time student (9 or more hours) unless enrolled for the final semester.
Undergraduate students who have been accepted to an accelerated bachelor's/master's degree program prior to the awarding of their undergraduate degree must complete all their bachelor's degree requirements and graduate within 12 months of the first day of the semester for which they were admitted to the accelerated program.
The Master’s degree provides additional technical depth and specialization that can lead to expanded career opportunities and responsibilities, as well as preparation for doctoral (PhD) studies.
This program is designed to provide selected, high-achieving, ASU EE undergraduate students with the opportunity to combine advanced undergraduate coursework with graduate coursework and accelerate graduate degree completion. Students will be able to earn a BSE and MSE degree in five (5) years by sharing up to nine credits of graduate-level coursework taken as technical electives for each program. Those credits will apply toward both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5 is required to apply. The program is particularly suited for students with strong academic backgrounds. The credit hour requirements are 120 for the BSE and 30 for the MSE.
