Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering - Analog and Mixed Signal Circuits

A degree in electrical engineering from UIC will give you the knowledge and skills you need to join their ranks. Electrical engineering is always extending its boundaries into new areas of technology. Electrical engineers are developing the technology needed to power electric cars far beyond the range of today’s batteries and charging stations. They are working on nanoscale devices that have the potential to reshape medical diagnosis and treatment. Electrical engineering is helping us to be more energy-efficient and exploring ways to make renewable energy useful to a greater proportion of the world’s population.Humans are analog beings living in an analog world. That is, all the signals we extract from our sensory inputs (visual, auditory, haptic, olfactory, and environmental) are continuous in time and magnitude. Alternatively, fueled by Moore’s scaling law, digitization of most information has become possible. Nowadays, most of the signals are processed and stored in digital format—with quantized magnitudes and discrete time. Digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital signal conversion is therefore crucial in all digital devices. Alternatively, processing and storing signals in the analog domain opens unprecedented performance opportunities for next-generation electronic devices. This track will help you acquire analytical tools and intuitive insight required for efficiently analyzing and designing analog systems (amplifiers, filters, analog-to-digital interfaces, and power circuits). You can further broaden your circuit design expertise by coupling this track with courses in digital systems and VLSI. Alternatively, to deepen knowledge in power delivery systems, courses in power electronics, management, and systems should be considered.
