Engineering (BS): Electrical Engineering Systems Concentration

This is an archived copy of the 2024-2025 catalog. To access the most recent version of the catalog, please visit .

The Electrical Engineering Systems concentration offers a solid foundation in electrical engineering principles, including electrical/electronic devices and circuits, computer hardware and software, electromagnetics, electrical power systems, control systems, communications and signal processing, and the design and analysis of digital/analog electronic systems. Electrical engineering courses are taught by nationally recognized faculty from the Raleigh campus.

On-site NC State faculty teach the systems engineering content, conduct all laboratory experiences, and direct students in the two-semester capstone design experience where they are partnered with an industry sponsor to design a solution to a real-world problem. Hands-on laboratory exercises and design-build projects each semester allow students to explore and experience theoretical concepts learned in their courses and practice important modern skills such as manual and computerized measurement techniques, data acquisition and analysis, troubleshooting, design of experiments, and technical communication.

Training in formal systems engineering prepares students to understand and work through the broad, complex issues involved with integrated systems. Training in electrical engineering equips students with the skills and confidence required to understand and solve detailed technical problems. Students with this unique combination of skills are well-prepared to meet both the technical and non-technical challenges of today’s engineering workplace.
