The electrical engineering discipline is concerned with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. Electrical engineers are at the forefront of the newest technologies that impact our society. They play key roles in solving technical problems in many areas including

  • Biomedical engineering
  • Computers and digital hardware
  • Control systems
  • Electrical and alternative power
  • Electronic materials and sensor devices
  • Signal and image processing
  • Telecommunications

Electrical engineers work everywhere in South Dakota, throughout the U.S. and internationally. Electrical engineers enjoy exciting careers in research, design and development, manufacturing, sales and corporate management. 日本av视频's EE graduates are in great demand and are rewarded with high starting salaries.
