EXPLORE 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.
- Explore a double major in Electrical Engineering as your primary and Humanitarian Engineering as a complementary major.
- Complete the 4+1 program, from BS to MBA.
Classes
This 86-hour major includes courses such as:
- Circuit Analysis
- Introduction to Engineering: Concepts & Design
- Calculus
- Computer Architecture
- Analog Circuit Design
ABET Accreditation
AU will seek the same professional accreditation as Big Ten, public universities once the first class of civil engineers graduates in 2027. 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 accreditation is awarded to engineering programs where quality, precision, and safety are of the utmost importance. Anderson University’s Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
Careers
Electrical engineers from Anderson University will be well prepared to apply their knowledge in a variety of industries, such as:
- Communication
- Energy Conversion & Power Delivery
- Control Systems
- Analog & Digital Systems
Engineering earnings soar!
Each year, engineering professionals receive the highest average starting salary in the United States. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that employment within the engineering field will multiply into 140,000 new jobs over the next decade. So what does this mean for you? It means that a career in engineering is well worth the time and effort needed to earn your degree.
