这个项目

The Bachelor of Science in 电气工程 program is accredited by the Engineering 认证 Commission of ABET, http://www.教唆.org, 《乐虎集团》和《乐虎集团》, 电脑, 通信, Tele沟通(s) and Similarly Named Engineering 项目 Program Criteria. 它是达科他州入学人数最多的州. 系里的教员, 他们中的许多人有多年的工业和教学经验, 对每个学生给予足够的关注. 主要 components of the undergraduate program are basic science and mathematics, 人文社会科学, 沟通, 工程科学, 工程设计与伦理学, and both breadth and depth in electrical and computer engineering.

专业领域

The 电气工程 program is designed to reflect the broad nature of the field, 学生们可以在广泛的范围内调整他们的学习. Students are encouraged to develop an individual program of study in close consultation with their advisers. Examples are available to illustrate how specialization may be obtained in a number of different technical areas. Students may mix and match from the examples to suit their particular interests. 技术领域包括:

• 生物医学工程 以工程和生命科学为基础. The integration of medicine and engineering serves to provide appropriate products, 工具, and techniques for research diagnosis and treatment by health care professionals. 一些重要的产品是人造心脏, 医学成像(MRI), 超声波, CT扫描), 修复设备, 计算机辅助诊断. Biomedical engineers help identify the problems and needs that can be solved using engineering technology and systems methodology to provide high-quality health care at reasonable cost.

• 通信与信号处理 是否与电气工程密切相关. Communication is the process of transferring information from one point in time and space to another point. Signal processing involves signal representation, as well as signal design and filtering. Students with this specialization find challenging opportunities worldwide to meet the need for more convenient, 便宜的, 并且可靠的通信和信号处理.
• 控制工程 deals with the design and implementation of algorithms for controlling 物理 systems. Examples include active suspension for cars, autopilots for aircraft, and robot motion control.
• 电磁学 包括电磁兼容性, 光纤, 天线, 微波设备, 雷达, 声纳, 卫星系统, 电力和通信传输线, 接地, 屏蔽和传播.
• 电子与微电子 处理集成电路, VSLI, 晶体管, 激光, 消费电子产品, 国防电子, 电力电子, 电子材料.
• 纳米技术 deals with the study of electric materials at the nanoscale level for applications such as solar cells and sensors.
• 光学工程, 与物理系联合开发, prepares future engineers in such areas as quantum theory; coherent/incoherent polarized/non-polarized light; geometric, 物理, and Fourier optics; holography; and image processing and acquisition.
• 电力系统 处理代, 传输, distribution and utilization of electric energy subject to safety, 环境和经济问题.

合作教育计划

The 合作教育计划 allows students to alternate classroom study with a series of paid professional work experiences related to electrical engineering. These experiences increase in complexity as the student's background increases. The program provides opportunity for pre-graduation experience in the profession, 探索一些职业机会, 教育经费, an enriched degree and enhanced opportunities for employment following graduation.

高中准备

High school students are recommended to take one unit of physics, 四个单元的数学和一个单元的化学.

的设施

The Electrical and 电脑 Engineering building is part of an eight building engineering complex. 这栋楼里有专门的实验室和设备. Numerous grants and donations from the National Science Foundation and private industry have provided valuable equipment. Laboratories along with department and university computer capabilities support education and research.

职业发展机会

NDSU electrical engineering graduates are working all over the world in a variety of exciting jobs at excellent salaries. They work in research, design, sales, manufacturing, testing, installation, development and teaching. Many graduates find an engineering education provides excellent training for fields other than engineering such as business, 医学或法律. 因为工程师是解决问题的人, there is a constant demand for engineers to solve problems outside typical engineering fields.

研究和研究生学习

Departmental faculty members are currently active in several areas of research including biomedical, 纳米技术, 通信与信号处理, 控制, 电磁学, 电子与动力工程. 研究生 studies leading to the master’s and doctoral degrees are offered in the department. 详情请参阅 毕业生公告.
