Electrical engineering

Master of Engineering

A group of electrical engineering seniors are developing a high-efficiency solar cell, an individual unit of a solar panel that converts sunlight to electricity, in the college’s state-of-the-art clean room. The solar cell will act as a tool to open access to undergraduate students interested in working in semiconductor manufacturing and in a clean room setting.

Electrical systems that benefit society

U of I is one of the nation’s premier centers for power engineering research, education and collaboration between industry and academia.

As a student in this nationally-recognized program, you will investigate the electrical phenomena and learn how to apply high-level knowledge in the field to develop complex electrical solutions for computers, instruments, communication devices, power conversion and more.

You will have many opportunities to work with faculty members on practical research projects vital to industry, including engineering prototypes. Areas of expertise include power/energy systems, electromagnetic radio wave propagation, electronic packaging and microelectronics.
