Overview

The Electrical Engineering major of the Department of Physics/EE prepares the student for the analysis and design of electronic systems and devices whose principal functions are the shaping and control of information. The Department of Physics/EE offers four areas of focus: Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Optical Engineering, and Environmental Instrumentation Engineering. The specific electives for these areas of focus will be chosen in consultation with the student’s academic advisor.
