"As well as this, the wonderful, intelligent, and kind faculty and the highly welcoming student community made EIU feel like home. ... I am extremely excited for this, since many other colleges reserve this kind of research for post-graduate students. I plan to minor in music as well, and the music program here has many great opportunities, as well as a deeper personal connection with faculty and fellow students than at a bigger school."Keenan KershClass of 2029, Electrical Engineering major
Electrical engineering combines mathematics, science, technology and creativity to solve real-world problems. It is a strong fit for students who enjoy understanding how things work, tackling complex challenges and designing technology that can make systems smarter, faster, safer or more efficient. EIU’s curriculum begins with a strong foundation in calculus, physics, computer science, chemistry or biology, and logic design.
