The field of electrical engineering covers the design, construction, testing, and operation of electrical components, circuits, and systems.

Electrical engineers are concerned with information representation and transmission, advancing integrated circuit design for digital, analog and mixed systems, new devices and architectures, and all the areas of circuits and systems that have traditionally supported these efforts. This includes all phases of the digital or analog transmission of information such as in radio, television, telephone systems, fiber optics, wireless communication, and satellite communications, as well as control and robotics, electric power, information processing and storage.

  • iconProfessor Drago Siljak recipient of the prestigious Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award

    The award was presented by the American Automatic Control Council. Given to honor distinguished career contributions to the theory or application of automatic control, the Bellman Award is the highest recognition of professional achievement for US control systems engineers and scientists. Drago is recognized "for fundamental contributions to the theory of large-scale systems, decentralized control, and parametric approach to robust stability."

    The American Automatic Control Council (AACC) is the national association of the control systems division of eight member societies: American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Association of Iron and Steel Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation Society, and Society for Computer Simulation. The award ceremony will take place July 1 in Baltimore, Maryland.
     
    Congratulations, Drago, on this wonderful recognition; it is well-deserved!

  • iconPartnership with Agilent Technologies

    A new partnership between Santa Clara University and Agilent Technologies, Inc. will give undergraduate engineering students access to the most current electronic test equipment in the industry. SCU and Agilent announced its sponsorship of the electrical engineering undergraduate teaching lab during a dedication ceremony on Wednesday, Jan. 20. 

    The SCU lab uses Agilent oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, and function generators. The lab reaffirms SCU's commitment to work with Silicon Valley companies, such as Agilent, to deliver an advanced engineering laboratory environment for the undergraduate program.

    "We are very pleased with the outcome of our work with Agilent and hope that it will be an incentive to other innovative technology companies to partner with us," said Cary Yang, professor and chair of the electrical engineering department. "Santa Clara University is very focused on delivering real-life challenges with academic achievement. This lab gives our students an excellent and competitive engineering instructional environment to learn and grow in."

    "Agilent is dedicated to making available the tools and instructional material necessary so the next generation of future engineeris can successfully compete in the global market," said Bill Wallace, Americas education business development manager at Agilent. "We are already in discussion with SCU about other exciting possibilities for thier program."
