Electrical engineers create and produce computer hardware, sensors, biomedical devices, communication networks, control mechanisms, radar and navigation tools, along with power generation and propulsion systems. Brown's Sc.B. in electrical engineering enables students to customize their program according to their interests. Based on the comprehensive scientific groundwork from the core curriculum, students can choose combinations of upper-level courses to prepare for seven specialization areas within electrical engineering. Switching between these specializations is feasible even as late as the senior year. The program generally consists of: The interdisciplinary engineering core, completed in the first two years, Three advanced Electrical Engineering courses (ENGN1570 Linear Systems, ENGN1620 Design of Electronic Circuits, and ENGN1630 Digital System Design). One foundational Electrical Engineering course that acts as an entry point to traditional specializations like bioelectrical engineering, communication systems, computer engineering, multimedia signal processing, microelectronic systems, and solid-state electronics and photonics. Two more upper-level courses can be chosen from a list of Electrical Engineering electives to establish a student-defined specialization. A capstone design course. An advanced science course. Four approved humanities courses.
