The educational objectives of the electrical engineering undergraduate program are to produce graduates who, within a few years of graduation, will: Demonstrate professional advancement as productive practicing engineers who continuously develop their technical expertise, as demanded by the rapidly changing technologies. Attain enhanced and broadened knowledge via graduate education in either engineering or other fields such as science, mathematics, business, medicine, and law. These objectives are consistent with the mission of the University of Colorado Denver, congruent with the goals of the College of Engineering, Design and Computing and reflective of the mission of the Department of Electrical Engineering.Modern electrical engineering is a very broad and diverse field. Never before has electrical engineering been at the forefront of some many technologies and societal challenges. Today’s electrical engineers work in aerospace, communications, quantum computing, space sciences, artificial intelligence, green energy, electromobility, and military and medical systems, to name just a few. Electrical engineering technologies range in size from microprocessors and tiny transistors to megawatt energy conversion systems. At CU Denver, the electrical engineering curriculum prepares students for careers in product design, manufacturing, research, development, operation and plant engineering, technical sales and application engineering. The goal is to educate and inspire students to achieve their maximum career potential.
