As an electrical engineering major, you can learn to design, develop, analyze, research and create systems for a wide variety of fields, including power generation, communication, healthcare and instrumentation. You\u2019ll also learn about the devices and components that make up these systems\u2014from the smallest transistors (of which there can be hundreds of billions on a single chip!) to antennas, lasers, electric engines and even fusion devices that could provide power for the world.<\/p>\n
Electrical engineering majors learn the tools for analyzing and operating systems, including signal processing, control and machine learning. You can even focus on the mathematics, tools and practices associated with machine learning and data science in engineering with our new machine learning and data science named degree option\u2014a formal “sub-major” that’s also reflected on your educational transcript. In the UW-Madison ECE department, our program will match your ambition.<\/p>\n<\/div>
