What is Electrical Engineering?
Electrical engineers play a key role in shaping technology. They design a wide range of everyday technology from computers and stereos, to complex electrical systems. You can say an electrical engineer tinkers with a purpose. He or she might design more efficient bullet trains, measure winds on the planet Jupiter, or design light rail systems. Electrical engineering is perfect for individuals with a strong work ethic, natural curiosity, and solid backgrounds in math and basic science. Our graduates go on to successful careers in circuit design, controls, electromagnetics, power, communications and signal processing. In other words, there is no limit to what you can do with an electrical engineering degree from the University of Idaho.

Learn From the Best
Principal strengths of our program include skilled and dedicated faculty, 13,000 square feet of modern laboratory facilities, supportive administration, and solid, long-term relationships with industry. The entire university is committed to developing our students' minds to their fullest, combining creative power with intellectual curiosity. Our faculty has earned graduate degrees from many of the top universities in the country and has a wide range of industrial experiences. All are committed to serving students and the region through teaching and research. You receive personal attention and open-door interaction with our faculty, and opportunities to get a head start on your career. With that kind of support, we think it is no surprise that our students rank first in the country in the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, a standardized national test, with the highest passing rate of 95.6 percent, compared to the national average of 68.4 percent.
Best Career Move You'll Ever Make Our broad-based undergraduate program is known for a practical, design-oriented emphasis that is highly sought after by industry recruiters. And the future remains bright. Electrical engineers receive the second highest starting salaries of all college graduates. Several times a year you will have a chance to meet and network with representatives from such powerful firms as Hewlett Packard, Intel, Idaho Power, Micron, Washington Water Power, Boeing, and Zilog.
Get a head Start to Your Engineering Career Hone your skills in math and basic science, along with courses such as advanced algebra, trigonometry, chemistry, physics, and calculus. This prepares you for the first year at the UI, which includes general engineering math and science courses. If you have course deficiencies from high school, we will work with you to make them up once you arrive on campus. Below are links to know more about Moscow,ID and its sourroundings. |
