Electrical Engineering
Electrical Engineering is a broad field that includes power systems, control systems, microelectronics, microprocessors, computer networks, telecommunications (wire, wireless, satellite and fiber optic), remote sensing, signal processing, neural networks, medical devices, optics (electro-optics, optoelectronics and photonics) and other emerging technologies. The minor in Electrical Engineering is intended for students who major in related fields and are interested in learning Electrical Engineering to enhance their major.

Why Saint Martin's University?
Engineering at Saint Martin’s is growing. An exemplary faculty and strong focus on the undergraduate experience is being coupled with new infrastructure and new technology. Cebula Hall (built in 2013) -- home to the School of Engineering -- is the most energy efficient building with LEED Platinum Certification in the Western Hemisphere. Engineering students are exposed to a broad range of topics that give them the facility to adapt to an ever-changing professional environment.
Careers
The variety of an electrical engineer’s work can range from the smallest integrated circuit to power systems that cover entire states. Because of the broad nature of the field, electrical engineers are involved in a wide range of engineering design projects and they must be able to employ knowledge from other disciplines in electrical engineering designs. They must also be prepared to support engineers in other disciplines. As we progress through the 21st century, the technology that surrounds us will continue to expand and electrical engineers are leading the way.
