What will I study in EE? What will I study in EE?
• Freshman/Sophomore year - basic math, physics, engineering design and programming classes + a 1st Year seminar class (digital music, ham radio, etc.)
• Sophomore/Junior year - electrical engineering “core” courses/labs that give all EE’s a broad background in all aspects of the electrical engineering field
• Junior/Senior year - specialization in 1 or more sub-areas of electrical engineering with a culminating final senior design project in the area of your choice

What non-class educational opportunities are available to EE students at PSU?
What non-class educational opportunities are available to EE students at PSU?
Co-operative Education (co-op)• Students alternate periods of school and
engineering-based work to get great hands-on industrial experience
• The co-op experience earns credit and is paid
