Electrical Engineering, Minor

Electrical engineering (EE) connects the physical world with the information world.  Electrical engineers can apply physics and chemistry in modern nanotechnology devices, can encode and manipulate information in circuits and networks, and can mathematically understand and reason with large amounts of data in real time. Students can pursue an EE minor by completing a six courses that includes the conception, design, analysis, and implementation of devices, circuits, and signal processing.

SEAS Second Major or Minor Option

Students interested in declaring a second major (College students only) or minor with SEAS should check the website of the department overseeing the major/minor for the requirements. Students are encouraged to reach out to the department staff if they have any questions or would like to discuss the requirements and/or their plan of completion. Students then must submit the Declare/Update Field of Study PATH form, which will go through multiple approval steps before the major/minor is added to the student's record.
