Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering

University at Buffalo - SUNY

Electricity runs the world-which means electrical engineers have the power to change lives. As one of our students said, "One day I’m learning about new renewable energy technologies that could save the planet, and then the next day I’m learning about cutting-edge nano-robots that are used to combat cancers." If you've ever taken apart a computer or appliance to figure out how it works-or if you think that sounds cool-then this is the major for you.What will I learn?Yes, our students have raced electric motor boats in class. That may not be a typical lesson, but it shows what we do at UB: find engaging ways to teach you about complex problems.As an electrical engineering major, you'll start with core classes and labs in chemistry, physics, calculus and electrical engineering, including circuits and signals. As you get into your junior and senior years, you'll take more advanced classes in microprocessors, electromagnetic theory and similar topics. You'll also be able to choose electives in energy systems, optics or other areas that match your interests.
