Electrical Engineering

Introduction
Electrical engineering is concerned with the analysis, design, development, and operation of electrical and electronic systems. Examples of these systems include communication, fiber optics, data processing, power generation and distribution, control, and instrumentation. Digital circuits and computers are important and integral parts of such systems and are widely used by electrical engineers in their design and development. The electrical engineer is also concerned with the devices that make up systems such as transistors, integrated circuits, rotating machines, antennas, lasers, and computer-memory devices.

The bachelor's degree program in Electrical Engineering at UNH is nationally accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET). Recognizing the changing trend in engineering education, the program has adopted a multidisciplinary approach for teaching and learning by incorporating a series of newly developed project-oriented courses based on the spiral curriculum.

Unique Features

• The has a thriving internship program with a high demand for student placement. Meaningful internships often lead to full-time employment upon graduation.
• Small class size allows faculty to give each student individual attention.
• Emphasis is on the design experience throughout the curriculum, leading to a design project in senior year.
• The program provides the opportunity to double-major with computer engineering or computer science in one additional year or less.
• Flexibility to complete a bachelors and Master's degree in five years.
