Electrical engineering is a major that deals with topics related to energy, communications, electromagnetism, electronics, digital processing, and automatic control systems. Topics related to energy include energy production, transmission and distribution with high efficiency. Renewable energy sources are also discussed as a permanent and environmentally friendly source. As for the communications aspect, it covers analog and digital modulation, wired and wireless systems and their applications, data encryption and networks. The electromagnetic side is concerned with the transmission of waves and methods of designing antennas and optical fibers. In electronics we cover the designs of electronic circuits and logic circuits used in the fields of communications, computing, and military and defense systems. The digital processing includes the analysis and processing of digital signals and their medical, industrial and artificial intelligence applications. Control includes simple devices, motors, robots, and advanced equipment.

The program is offered with summer training (8 weeks).

A student with summer training option, in his senior year, may choose between several elective courses, or enroll in one of the following concentrations:

▪ Electrical Devices and Sensors ▪ Communication Systems ▪ Computational Analytics ▪ Computer Networks ▪ Decision Analytics ▪ Drone Design and Applications ▪ Electronic Defense Systems ▪ Energy Efficiency ▪ Internet of Things ▪ Laser and Microwave Sensing ▪ Process Safety ▪ Robotics and Autonomous Systems

As for the fields of work for which this specialization qualifies, they vary between: ▪ Electrical power systems ▪ Electronics ▪ Solid state devices and robots ▪ Signal processing ▪ Telecommunications ▪ Military industries ▪ Integrated circuits and computers ▪ Power transmission systems ▪ Control systems
