Introduction
Electrical engineers put robots on Mars, build electric vehicles and aircraft, create high-speed wireless communication networks for us all to stay connected, design microchips smaller than your fingernail that can detect and cure dangerous illnesses, and strive to save the planet by harnessing renewable energy for our power grids. A degree in electrical engineering teaches you the mathematics, physics, and hands-on skills necessary to design the high-tech electronics, electromagnetics, communication, controls, and power systems that are pervasive in modern life.
