Overview
Electrical engineering applies mathematical and physical principles to a wide variety of electrical, electronic, or computer-based devices and systems.
The major in electrical engineering has several areas of special emphasis, including:
- Computer engineering
- Energy and power systems
- General
- Microelectronics
- Systems engineering (communications, controls, and signal processing)
In addition to on its Pullman campus, WSU offers electrical engineering degrees at WSU Tri-Cities, WSU Vancouver, WSU North Puget Sound at Everett, and WSU Olympic College at Bremerton.
