Overview

Southern Illinois University's program is designed for the 21st century, featuring state-of-the-art electric equipment throughout. This nationally-ranked program maintains small class sizes, enabling nationally-recognized faculty to work side-by-side with students in advanced teaching laboratories. Students participate in a real-world capstone design sequence, with optional internships, co-ops, and externships in the industry that match career goals. Customization of the Electrical Engineering degree is possible by taking many technical elective courses in various fields. Specialization in power systems and energy engineering or in Medical Devices allows for the opportunity to change the world in a variety of fields. The program offers the following specializations: Medical Devices: Medical Devices: Bioengineering uses the principles of engineering to solve problems involving biological material. At SIU, students learn the skills to combine science, engineering, technology and medicine to create innovative devices, materials or processes for a diverse range of uses, but often related to improving human health. Power Systems and Energy: The Power Engineering and Energy specialty focuses on the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, as well as the electrical devices connected to such systems, including generators, motors, and transformers. At SIU, students focus on electromechanics, the design and operation of large electric power and energy systems, magnetic and electric energy conversion methods, the application of electronic devices at high power levels, and alternative energy. Courses include Electric Circuits, Software Tools and Robotics, Digital Circuit Design, Electromechanical Energy Conversion, and Electrical Engineering Senior Design. Employment opportunities exist within a wide range of organizations, such as computer, semiconductor, aviation, electronics, microelectronics, broadcasting, telecommunications, defense, automotive, manufacturing, electric power companies, state and federal agencies, and laboratories. Employment opportunities cover the spectrum of engineering activities, ranging from research and development to systems analysis, automation, manufacturing, customer service, support, marketing, and sales.
