Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering is a vast field which encompasses numerous disciplines such as microelectronics, photonics, computer engineering, signal processing, control systems, and communications. Electrical Engineering at Yale attempts to create a new brand of electrical engineering student and our students enjoy a more balanced and well rounded education than their counterparts who attend technology-dominated schools and are consequently better equipped to compete and lead in the global community of the 21st century.
