About Electrical Engineering
Electrical Engineering uses mathematics, physics,
and other sciences in the design of electrical devices and systems,
including lasers, transistors, optical fibers, integrated circuits,
communication systems, satellite systems, electronic medical
systems, and electrical power systems. As such, electrical engineering
is a sophisticated, rapidly changing discipline. It is also
a discipline that requires rigorous training in advanced mathematics
and the basic sciences.
At UNM, this field is divided into several areas of concentration:
electronics, microelectronics, optoelectronics, computers
and digital systems, networks and control systems, power systems,
and signal processing and communications. The B.S. in electrical
engineering is the basic degree offered at UNM, and is accredited
by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
The present demand for electrical engineers is excellent,
and the employment rate for UNM graduates has been high. The
demand is expected to remain strong, with continued expansion
especially in the areas of microelectronics, optoelectronics,
communications, and computers and digital systems. Electrical
engineers are employed by large corporations as well as by
small companies, in various governmental agencies and laboratories,
and as private consulting engineers. The career work is varied,
and includes research, product design and development, production,
sales, and management. It also provides opportunities for
interaction between engineering disciplines and sciences,
such as Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics.
