Electrical Engineering
The field of electrical engineering has had a profound impact on industry and society throughout the 20th century, and will continue to shape the technologies of the future. Electrical engineering is the discipline that develops and harvests the applications of electrical and electronic devices and systems. As such, electrical engineering is everywhere: in computers, private and broadcast communications, consumer electronics, medical devices, energy storage and transmission, transportation systems and space technology. In an era known as Information Age, electrical engineering is playing a leading role, fueling the explosive growth of information technology through the miniaturization of computer circuitry and the proliferation of reliable communication links.
 Today's electrical engineers work on such varied and exciting projects as aircraft navigation using the Global Positioning System (GPS), new data networks to speed up the Internet, imaging technologies for digital cameras, touch simulators for virtual reality systems and pacemaker-type devices for controlling neural malfunctions (to name just a few). Whether envisioning a new product, fine-tuning a complex design through computer-aided simulation, or testing a prototype component in a state-of-the-art fabrication facility, electrical engineers are making a bold contribution to one of the most important technological enterprises of our time.
Major Sub-Disciplines
Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland consists of the following sub-disciplines:
Electrical Engineering Curriculum
The Electrical Engineering curriculum requires a minimum of 120 credits to degree completion. Full time students usually take a minimum of four years (or eight semesters) to complete this program. However, some students take longer to do so, adding additional semesters and/or summer courses to their timeline. Students are encouraged to meet with an advisor to determine an appropriate pace for completing the program.
