electrical engineers work in everything
from
getting power to your house all the way to getting power to your cell phone
In an increasingly digital environment we use electronics
every day even more in our society
Something that we have the special is our power distribution
We're one of the few schools in the United States that still puts an emphasis in power
and they said that those electrical
engineering students are very hard to find
and there are a lot of companies that seek us just for their power applications
there's no question that one of the
things that makes Arkansas graduate
more valuable than graduates from
another schools
is the fact that we have really focused on their communication skills and their sense of teamwork
It's very active in research over a
broad range of topics
everything from optoelectronics to work in electromagnetics
We have opportunities as undergraduate students to get into a
research lab in actually do research work
They are working alongside the graduate students, learning the information
learning the technology and making a
contribution
There's more to electrical engineering than actually building an electrical component
But probably more significantly, it impacts many
other fields of engineering and science, and many of the advances in
automotive safety systems over the last few decades have been
primarily electrical and electronic in nature
It's a very fast-growing field, every day
something new is being done
Electricity is going everywhere so
electrical engineers need to follow.
