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.
