Program Overview
MSOE's Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering is an intensive, application-oriented program designed to prepare students for impactful careers in the rapidly evolving world of electrical and electronic systems. The program blends deep theoretical knowledge with practical experience across key areas such as analog and digital circuit design, signal processing, microcontrollers, power systems, control systems, and electromagnetic fields.
Curriculum: The Electrical Engineering curriculum at MSOE is thoughtfully crafted to build both depth and breadth across electrical and electronics domains. Students study a balanced mix of foundational subjects—mathematics, physics, and computer science—alongside specialized courses in digital logic design, embedded systems, circuit analysis, communications, and control theory. Laboratory-intensive courses reinforce theoretical understanding through experimentation and design practice. A key highlight is the senior capstone project, where students collaborate in teams to develop, test, and present a comprehensive engineering solution, often with real-world industry sponsors. MSOE’s trimester system allows students to progress efficiently while gaining industry-relevant skills, including technical writing, teamwork, and project management.
Research Focus: While MSOE emphasizes undergraduate education, the Electrical Engineering program offers multiple avenues for applied research through its dedicated faculty and the university’s renowned Applied Technology Center (ATC). Research initiatives often explore topics such as renewable energy systems, embedded computing, smart sensors, wireless communication, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Students can work alongside faculty on sponsored projects or engage in the Academic Undergraduate Research (AUR) program. This hands-on research experience not only enhances technical competence but also fosters innovation and creative problem-solving skills that are essential in modern engineering careers.
Industry Engagement: MSOE’s Electrical Engineering program is strongly connected to the industry, enabling students to benefit from a wide range of professional development opportunities. The university collaborates with leading companies like Rockwell Automation, Johnson Controls, and GE Healthcare, providing students with access to internships, cooperative education programs, and industry-sponsored projects. Guest lectures, company visits, and career fairs are common features of the student experience. These connections also influence curriculum updates to ensure alignment with industry needs. As a result, MSOE electrical engineering graduates consistently achieve high job placement rates and are known for their readiness to contribute from day one in a professional setting.
Global Perspective: MSOE incorporates a global mindset into its Electrical Engineering program, equipping students to navigate the complexities of international engineering environments. While the university offers select study abroad programs and short-term international experiences, global perspectives are also embedded into classroom discussions on standards, emerging technologies, and sustainability practices worldwide. The program fosters an awareness of cross-cultural communication, ethical engineering practices, and global trends in energy and technology. By training students to think beyond borders, MSOE ensures that its graduates are not only technically proficient but also globally competitive, ready to contribute to multinational teams and projects.
