Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
Design and create advanced electrical systems.
Electrical engineers use electronics, signals and controls, analog and digital systems, microcontrollers, microprocessors, and programming to design, build, and test a wide range of systems, from power to image processing to communications. The Electrical Engineering program at the R.B. Annis School of Engineering strives to prepare effective and responsible graduates who are ready to seamlessly integrate into the diverse workforce.
Advantages
- Curriculum integrated with hands-on lab experiences to emphasize connections between fundamental engineering analysis and practical engineering design
- Curriculum runs concurrently with the project-based DesignSpine curriculum that hones professional skills
- Offers real-world engineering experiences through client-driven projects and national competitions
- Prepares graduates for a variety of job opportunities upon graduation including embedded and control systems, image processing, digital signal processing, defense, technology, and more

Hands-on learning opportunities are provided by a deliberate integration of extensive lab experiences with most of the courses in the curriculum. These experiences take place in our electronics laboratories: DC Circuits, AC Circuits, Digital Systems, Microcontroller Architecture and Programming, Electronics, Interfacing Laboratory, and Controls lab.

Learn to use state-of-the-art equipment in our new engineering facilities, then apply what you've learned to DesignSpine projects with real corporate clients, and make connections that often lead to internship and job opportunities.
There are also plenty of opportunities outside of the curriculum for students to explore their passions. Our maker space and shops are open to all students. We also have a Robotics Club, a Racing Club, an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) student group, and an active student chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE).
Curriculum Guides
The General Education Core guide outlines the classes you need in order to fulfill UIndy’s general education requirements. The Electrical Engineering guide lists all of the classes you will need to take in order to fulfill the major’s requirements. Be sure to take a look at both guides in order to get a complete picture of what classes you'll take at UIndy. Also below are the guides (for non-EENG majors) to obtain a minor or concentration in Electrical Engineering.
