Consider where we would be without power plants, televisions, cell phones, and biomedical devices. Consider all the progress still to come in the fields of fiber optics, computers, and robots. The real-world implications of advances in electrical engineering are immense, and the possibilities are endless.
As an electrical engineering major at the University of New Haven, you will study the behavior of electrons in three areas — electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism — as you learn to design, develop, and oversee the operation of electrical and electronic systems.
