Description:

Electrical and Electronics engineering is a modern field of engineering involving the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism in areas such as power and control systems, telecommunications, and digital signal processing. In this degree program students will learn about the role electrical engineering plays in today’s society and gain fundamental and applied understanding of electrical engineering as a discipline that integrates math, science, and technology while benefiting from a liberal arts education and developing soft skills that will prepare students to be successful in the major and in their careers.

Details

Career Opportunities:	Electrical engineers create systems and products that are an integral part of modern life. They design and develop electrical systems such as power, telecommunication, and control systems and robotics and create products such as cellular phones, microprocessors, and biomedical devices.
Expectations of Transfer Students:	Transfer students must have a 2.7 overall GPA.
Scholarships:	In addition to the financial assistance offered through the University’s Office of Student Financial Aid, scholarships are available to Electrical and Electronics Engineering students through the College of Engineering. For more information about scholarships offered by the College of Engineering, please visit the College of Engineering website or contact Patsy Adams (patsy@engr.uga.edu).
Cooperative Education:	The College of Engineering offers its students an opportunity to integrate academic instruction and real-life applications through a cooperative plan of education. Usually beginning after the first year, the plan allows for alternating semesters of full-time, off-campus professional work experience in designated industries, agencies and laboratories arranged by the Department. The student is considered by the University to be in an uninterrupted program of study since the student is enrolled for academic credit while on work-experience semesters. While co-op placement does not imply permanent employment of the student upon graduation, it does provide an extended period for mutual evaluation by the student and the cooperating industry enhancing the possibility of permanent employment.
