Electrical Engineering
Major, Minor
Degree: Bachelor of Science
It's a privilege to be at a liberal arts institution that has an ABET-accredited engineering program. While I learn about signal processing, semiconductors and circuit design as an electrical engineering major, there is flexibility in a field that is usually extremely rigid."
-Carlos Gregory
Our electrical engineering program blends study in cutting-edge 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.
Union also offers a 5-year combined B.S./M.S. in electrical engineering in conjunction with Clarkson University’s Capital Region Campus.
Research
Union's EE program emphasizes collaboration, academic inquiry and experimentation. Students enjoy opportunities for summer research fellowships and participation in symposia, and most present at Union’s Steinmetz Symposium research day. Recent Steinmetz project presentations by EE students have featured an athletic recovery device, a chaos-based coffee can radar system, and radar network synchronization and imaging using semiconductor laser systems.
Beyond the classroom
With Union committed to preparing students to practice their profession in the global engineering community of the 21st century, many EE majors participate in one of the terms abroad offered by the College, especially in Germany and Turkey. On campus, students are active members of many student-run engineering clubs and organizations.
