Graduates from the Electrical Engineering program will (1) pursue professional careers in academia, industry, or government sectors, (2) drive innovation in electrical engineering through the design, research, and deployment of products and services by leveraging strong communication, leadership, and entrepreneurial abilities, (3) commit to continuous learning within the electrical engineering discipline. (Program educational objectives guide curriculum development, and achieving them is a collaborative effort between students and UCI.) The undergraduate Electrical Engineering program is structured with a foundational core of humanities, mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering courses. It is designed to impart essential synthesis and design principles, preparing graduates to launch careers in industry or pursue advanced studies. Students in UCI's Electrical Engineering program enroll in classes covering network analysis, electronics, electronic system design, signal processing, electromagnetics, and computer engineering. They develop skills to create circuits and systems tailored to specific requirements and to apply modern computing tools for problem analysis and resolution. Electrical Engineering majors can opt for a specialization in Electro-optics and Solid-State Devices or Systems and Signal Processing. Beyond departmental offerings, the major incorporates selected courses from the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences.
