Electrical engineers lead the way in

communications, signal processing,

electronics, computing, and control.

They also design the systems that

generate and distribute reliable

electrical power to us all.

Here at Michigan Tech, you’ll work

with electricity in its many forms—

from electrons to large-scale mag-

netic fields. You’ll start your courses

with an introduction to the digital

world, learning techniques vital to

digital audio and video processing,

and computer systems.

Working as an electrical engineer,

you could devise ways to take

energy from turbines, fuel cells,

hydroelectric plants, and solar

panels and transfer it to homes,

factories, and businesses.

You could design components that

move digital information from place

to place, provide efficient and safe

power delivery to a community

grid, create a hybrid vehicle that

gets 1,000-plus miles per gallon, or

develop sensors to detect IEDs—

improvised explosive devices.

Photonics We offer a concentration in pho-

tonics—an exciting area of EE that

deals with optical energy. Photons

replace electrons as the conveyor of

information. You may find yourself

producing holograms, designing

vision sensors for a robot, or imag-

ing techniques for outer space.

Senior DesignIt takes teamwork to bring creative

ideas to life. Throughout your

senior year, you can work with

a small team of fellow students

on a project in collaboration with

industry. The experience is more

like a “first job” than a “last class”.

Recent projects include:

n Radar communications

hardware emulator

n Solar-powered charging device

for electric vehicles

n Remote synchronization of

a smart power grid

n Remote-control system for

a heavy-duty truck

EnterpriseJoin an Enterprise team and get the

extra edge on your education. Solve

real-world engineering, design,

and communication problems.

Develop marketing, business,

and leadership skills. Teams are

open to students from all majors,

and operate like companies in

the private sector. We host four

enterprise teams, but you can

choose from 28 across campus.

Blue Marble Security (BMS)Secures the future through

thoughtful use of technology.

Integrated Microsystems (IME)Integrates sensors and

microcontrollers.

Wireless Communication (WCE)Creates wireless, optical, and

biomedical solutions.

Automotive Computing (ACE)Develops innovative computers for

tomorrow’s automobiles.

Undergraduate Research Cutting-edge research isn’t just for

graduate students. You, too, can

gain valuable experience working

with a faculty mentor. One recent

project involved the creation of a

wireless sensor network for the

Pierre Auger Northern Observatory

in southeastern Colorado.

To keep pace with the explosive

growth in computing technology,

the world needs computer engi-

neers who can work comfortably

on both sides of the gap between

digital hardware and software.

Here at Michigan Tech, you’ll gain

plenty of real experience doing

exactly what computer engineers

do best: end-to-end design and

integration of complete systems—

both the hardware and the soft-

ware. By the time you graduate,

your ability to work on “both sides”

will enable you to conceive entire

systems from scratch.

Working as a computer engineer,

you may specialize in one area,

such as embedded systems, com-

puter networks, robotics, or VLSI

system design. You may also find

yourself working with other engi-

neering disciplines—for example,

teaming up with civil engineers to

design software to test the stress

points in a bridge or with mechani-

cal engineers to power a satellite

launch.

Computer engineering projects

range from designing nanotechnol-

ogy for bionic implants to inventing

software that detects brain tumors

much earlier, from creating special

effects for the movies to predict-

ing the strength of earthquakes

through computer simulation.

Make A World Of DifferenceMany of our students get

involved with meaningful

projects happening right here

on campus, including a wireless

brain wave sensor device (EEG) for

children; an interactive walker for

disabled toddlers; and the WINGS

navigation project for blind skiers.

One student traveled to Ghana with

Michigan Tech’s Pavlis Institute,

bringing computers to rural schools

for the very first time.

Professional SuccessECE graduates have a job

placement rate of 98 percent

within six months of graduation.

Companies seeking our graduates

include US Steel, Raytheon Missile

Systems, Georgia Pacific, Bechtel,

Rockwell-Collins, Caterpillar,

Kimberly-Clark, GE Aviation,

Google, GM, Ford, IBM, Microsoft,

Hitachi GST, Honeywell, Consumers

Power, Westinghouse, Unisys,

Motorola, Texas Instruments,

and Wisconsin Electric, among

many others. Some students find

employment in US government

agencies, while others choose

military service through ROTC

programs. Many go on to graduate

study in engineering or other fields.

Senior DesignDuring your senior year,

you’ll have the chance to work

with a small team of students on

a senior design project.

Your team will connect with

an industry sponsor through an

open-ended design project that

will provide you with the kind of

experience that can launch

a successful career.

D80 CenterMany challenges confront our

planet’s inhabitants, particularly

the 80 percent not typically

considered by those creating

infrastructure, goods and

services. Everyone must play a

role in elevating the quality of

life for all while ensuring future

generations can thrive. This

starts with the courage to

serve others, and the ability to

envision new solutions.

Michigan Tech’s D80 Center

provides education, service and

research opportunities for

students interested in gaining

valuable professional experience

while making a difference in

the lives of others. For more info

on all the D80 programs check

out the D80 Center online at

www.d80.mtu.edu.

Lots of optionsAs a BSE student, you will have

approximately nineteen elective

credits. This will provide you

with a great deal of �exibility

to pursue studies that re�ect

your own interests.

Elective credits must be used

to complete a coherent program

of study, such as the completion

of a minor or certi�cate.

Michigan Tech offers more

than �fty different minors and

eighteen different certi�cate

programs. Earning a minor or

certi�cate involves taking a

prescribed set of courses in a

discipline or sub-discipline.

Create your own course of study

Can’t �nd a minor or certi�cate

program that �ts your career

goals? You can work with a

faculty advisor to de�ne a

personalized course of study.
