Electrical Engineering (B.S.)

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering at George Mason University (GMU) provides students with a solid foundation in electrical and electronic systems, preparing them for careers in industries such as telecommunications, power systems, embedded systems, and robotics. The program blends theoretical learning with hands-on experience through laboratory work, projects, and internships. Students gain expertise in core subjects like circuit analysis, electronics, digital systems, signals and systems, and electromagnetics, while also having the flexibility to specialize in areas such as power systems, telecommunications, embedded systems, and control engineering. Practical learning is emphasized through simulations, lab exercises, and real-world projects that enhance problem-solving skills. The university offers state-of-the-art facilities, modern labs, and valuable internship and research opportunities. The electrical engineering program provides a comprehensive selection of courses, equipping students with the skills needed for a wide range of career opportunities in the field. Throughout the curriculum, hands-on design experiences and simulations play a key role, with labs and projects integrated into multiple courses to enhance practical learning. The program reaches its peak with a year-long senior design project, where students collaborate in teams to apply their knowledge, develop innovative solutions, and construct a fully functional hardware system, preparing them for real-world engineering challenges.
