Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Applied Science - Electrical Engineering] From Washington University

Electrical engineers are responsible for the most significant human technological advances of the 20th century, including electrical power generation and distribution, telephones, radio, television, defense technologies like radar and sonar, entertainment technologies like CDs and DVDs, medical imaging, computers, and the Internet. Opportunities for shaping the 21st century in similar ways are limited only by the imagination.

As an engineering school, we aspire to discover the unknown, educate students and serve society. Our strategy focuses intellectual efforts through a new convergence paradigm and builds on strengths, particularly as applied to medicine and health, energy and environment, and security. Through innovative partnerships with academic and industry partners—across disciplines and across the world—we will contribute to solving the greatest global challenges of the 21st century.

Undergraduate students have numerous opportunities to participate with faculty on research projects ranging from cell and tissue engineering to developing biosensors to the synthesis of nanomaterials for use in energy and environmental technologies. 60 percent of our current students participate in an undergraduate research or independent study project with faculty.
