As an electrical engineering student at UWM’s College of Engineering & Applied Science, you’ll have the power to shape the technology that drives our world. From smart devices to renewable energy systems, you’ll design, develop, and innovate the electrical systems behind nearly every modern invention.
You’ll dive into how circuits really work—learning to think creatively and abstractly to bring invisible processes to life. With hands-on experiences and real-world projects, you won’t just study technology—you’ll create it.
Graduates of our electrical engineering degree program work in almost every industry because electricity has integrated itself into every aspect of modern life, and demand for electrical engineers is expected to grow 3% per year for the next decade, so there is job security in electrical engineering.
2024 median pay was $118,780/year
