Welcome to the Electrical Engineering Department!
Electrical Engineering is a branch of engineering which uses science, mathematics, and technology coupled with problem-solving skills to analyze, design, construct, and maintain products and provide services related to electrical and electronic devices and systems. The bachelor's degree in electrical engineering is an important qualification for those seeking employment in industry, and it provides a solid foundation for graduate study.
Some areas in which an electrical engineer may specialize are electrical circuit design, analog and digital electronics, microelectronics, computers, communications, digital signal processing, control systems, power systems, and energy conversion. Whether designing large electric power systems to provide energy to homes and industries or developing tiny electronic devices to save lives, an electrical engineer is afforded many opportunities for a challenging and rewarding career.
The electrical engineering faculty comes from diverse industrial backgrounds. Each faculty member holds an advanced terminal degree, and most have actively practiced engineering before joining the university faculty.
The Electrical Engineering program at the University of Texas at Tyler was established in 1997, and is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 - telephone: (410)347-7700. We are proud of our student-focused, hands-on approach to engineering education. Please feel free to contact the Department Chair, Dr. Mukul Shirvaikar, for more information.
