Electrical Engineering — Advanced Education for a Career that will Revolutionize the World

A Masters and/or Ph.D. Degree in Electrical Engineering (EE) from University of Central Florida provides endless opportunities for exciting, rewarding and successful careers in a field that revolutionizes the world. There is a vast array of opportunities in electrical engineering to impact the way the world produces, operates and maintains energy, power, equipment, services, networks, microelectronics, signal processing and so much more.

The Electrical Engineering degree program in the School of EECS produces graduates with a high level of competency in understanding, applying, and enunciating the modern concepts, principles, methods, and theories necessary for the design and implementation of electrical-, electronics- and computer-related fields. The Electrical Engineering graduate program also gives students an in-depth education that will meet the needs of business and industry in Florida and throughout the United States now and for decades to come.

The Electrical Engineering Program offers Masters and Ph.D. degrees with specialization in many areas of Electrical Engineering including:

  • Energy
  • Controls & Robotics
  • Communications
  • Signal Processing
  • Power Electronics & Electronics
  • Solid State Microelectronics
  • Electromagnetics
  • Electro-optics
  • Networks
  • Circuits & Systems
  • Nanotechnology
  • Semiconductors
  • Microwaves & Antennae

The EE program has a long and respected history, as Electrical Engineering was approved to offer a Bachelors in EE in 1967. The Masters in EE was approved in 1971 and the Ph.D. in EE began in 1983.

Students successfully completing the EE graduate program with a Masters and/or Ph.D. will have exhibited breadth as well as depth of capability involving both theoretical aspects of Electrical Engineering and practical considerations of computing.
