Program Overview

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering

The Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering focuses on the foundations of circuit theory, electronics, and electromagnetics. Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and supervise complex electronic circuits.

Program Overview

The program offers three areas of specialization:

• Bioengineering: Students focus on challenges faced by the health care and life science communities.
• Electronics and communications: Students learn about the technologies underlying electronic and communication devices used in daily life, and will be prepared to design and build hardware to make new products of the future possible.
• Power systems: Students develop skills required to design power devices and systems, which range from power electronics in portable electronic devices to the generation, conversion, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy in a safe, reliable, economical, clean, and sustainable manner.

Career Opportunities

Electrical engineers have wide flexibility in their career options with the ability to do hardware and system design across many different platforms. Graduates pursue careers as:

• Electronics engineer
• Computer hardware engineer
• Health and safety engineer
• Bio, pre-med, health care, and environmental opportunities

Continuing Education

Students can continue their education with the Electrical and Computer Engineering (M.S.) or Electrical and Computer Engineering (Ph.D.) programs.

Research Opportunities

There are numerous research opportunities in electrical engineering, including:

• Electronics
• Renewable energy
• Power systems
• Wireless communications
• Medical devices for human and animal health The Robotics Competition Team provides a venue for creative, inventive, and industrious students to participate in robotic competitions against other universities and teams.

Facilities and Resources

K-State electrical engineering students have access to a makerspace in the department.

Academic Support

The Career Center offers an extensive career library, free assessments for exploring major/careers, job search training, career advising, employer connections, and a staff dedicated to assisting students in the career development process.

Undergraduate Research

At a public research university like K-State, students have direct access to research opportunities from the start. K-State undergraduates have studied sustainable energy, cancer cells, musical lyrics, and many other topics alongside nationally renowned faculty at K-State's 90-plus research centers.

Study Abroad

Studying in another country not only allows students to experience the wonders of another culture, but it also broadens their horizons and makes them a stronger citizen in our global society. There are more than 85 countries currently participating in K-State's education abroad programs.

Health Professions

K-State is a great place to start the journey toward becoming a healthcare professional. Students will have a dedicated health professions advisor who will help them navigate the professional school application process for their chosen healthcare field.

Pre-Law

K-State pre-law students are accepted into law school at a rate substantially exceeding the national average. In preparing for law school, students will work with a dedicated pre-law advisor and select the major of their choice in any department in any college within the university.
