Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering - Communications

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.Communications is an area of ECE that seeks to understand the theory and practice of how electronic devices communicate. This track will develop a fundamental understanding of how digital communications (magnetic recording, storage on flash memory, internet) and wireless communications (cell phones, WiFi) work. What you learn here can be nicely coupled with signal processing, control, and networking courses to form a deeper understanding of the role of communications within larger systems.
