Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering - Electromagnetics

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.Electromagnetics is the study of the underlying laws that govern the manipulation of electricity and magnetism and how we use these laws to our advantage. Applications enabled by electromagnetics include power distribution systems, wireless communications (TV, radio, cellular phones), radar systems, remote sensing, medical imaging systems, photonics and, recently, the Internet of Things. It is essential for all ECE students to have both a qualitative and a quantitative understanding of electromagnetics in order to evaluate which approximations and abstractions are appropriate to any particular design.
