About the Electrical Engineering major
Union's electrical engineering program combines cutting-edge studies in audio and image processing, wireless communications and nanotechnology with traditional areas such as electronic design, electric circuits, electromagnetics, optics, solid-state devices, control systems and communications.
With a focus on collaboration, academic inquiry and hands-on experimentation, students can take advantage of summer research fellowships and symposia. Most students also present their work during Union's Steinmetz Symposium research day. Projects by electrical engineering students have included an athletic recovery device, a chaos-based coffee-can radar system and radar network synchronization and imaging using semiconductor laser systems.
