The technology that improve lives

and shapes society is more powerful

and changing more rapidly than any

other time in human history.

We are in the midst of a digital revo-

lution that will transform life on this

planet—be a part of it.

The world of the future—the very

near future—will have billions of

devices connected on the Internet

of Things, equipped with advanced

sensors, communicating at the

speed of light over a fast network,

and working together using the

latest algorithms for artifcial intelli-

gence and deep learning.

None of this happens without elec-

trical and computer engineers who

design, implement, and test all the

pieces of the system. The work is

important. Opportunities abound in

these areas:

█ green energy solutions

█ autonomous vehicles

█ robotics and automation

█ energy storage

█ artifcial intelligence

█ cyber security

█ the Internet of Things

█ next-generation smartgrids

█ biomedical technology

Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students

from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University ofers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs

in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities,

mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway

and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

Michigan Technological University is an Equal Opportunity Educational Institution/Equal Opportunity Employer,

which includes providing equal opportunity for protected veterans and individuals with disabilities.

There are many excellent reasons to

choose ECE at Michigan Tech. Here

are just a few:

Friendly Learning EnvironmentWe ofer the advantages of a large

engineering program in a small-

college atmosphere. Faculty and

staf are easily accessible and enjoy

mentoring students.

Excellent FacultyCourses in our department are

taught by faculty who are nationally

recognized for their contributions to

engineering education, research, and

practice.

State-of-the-Art FacilitiesOur multimillion-dollar labs provide

hands-on learning experiences. You’ll

enjoy cutting-edge equipment—from

lasers and microcontrollers to robots,

power stations, and more—along with

industry standard software and cur-

rent generation computer systems.

Unique Lab CurriculumWe have strategically integrated our

key courses with labs that will lead

you to discover the basic principles

that govern the feld.

Industry ExperienceParticipate in Senior Design, Enter-

prise, internships, and co-ops—our

excellent programs give you a chance

to work directly with industry before

graduation.

Sustainable FutureOur students contribute to the

advancement of green, renewable,

and alternative energy, including

solar and wind power, hybrid power,

and more.

Global OpportunitiesOur students have studied in Norway,

Australia, Germany, Italy, France,

Spain, Denmark, The Netherlands,

Japan, China, Ghana, Chile, Ireland,

and other locations.

Electrical engineers lead the way in

communications, sensors, electronics,

signal processing, robotics, control,

automation, and the transmission and

distribution of electrical power.

It starts with electricity and goes much

further, into all the products, compo-

nents, and systems made possible by

our ability to control electrical charge

and voltage at extraordinarily high

speeds and microscopic scales.

Here at Michigan Tech, you will start

your courses with the fundamentals–

circuit theory, digital logic, electro-

magnetics—and work your way up to

complex devices and systems with

plenty of hands-on experience along

the way.

Control engineering is in high demand

among recruiters seeking our gradu-

ates. With a focus in controls, you will

learn how to integrate physical sys-

tems with the internet, design robots

for thousands of diferent tasks, and

keep an autonomous vehicle on the

road safely.

EE Concentrations

Photonics

Photonics is an exciting area of EE that

deals with optical energy. You may

produce holograms, design vision sen-

sors for a robot, or imaging techniques

for outer space.

Electric Power Engineering

Specialize in systems that provide

power and electricity to communities

and plants.

Biomedical Applications

Design and improve medical devices,

such as scopes, lasers, pacemakers,

MRI, and surgical equipment.

Environmental Applications

Design and develop sensing systems.

Detect and measure pollution, search

for objects, or map a trail system.

than computing and information

technology.

To keep pace with this change, there

is unprecedented demand for com

digital hardware and software, and

can interface computing technology

with other engineered systems.

Working as a computer engineer,

you may specialize in one area, such

as embedded systems, computer

design. You may also fnd yourself

working with other engineering

disciplines—for example, teaming

up with civil engineers to design

software testing the stress points in

a bridge, or with mechanical engi

Computer engineering projects

range from designing nano-technol

Practical Experience Many of our students get involved

with meaningful projects hap

pening right here on campus,

including a wireless brain wave

sensor device (EEG) for children,

an interactive walker for disabled

toddlers, and the WINGS naviga

tion project for blind skiers.

Professional Success Well over 300 companies come to

campus each year to recruit Michi

gan Tech students, and more than

60 percent of those are looking to

hire electrical and computer engi

neers. ECE graduates have a job

placement of nearly 100 percent

within six months of graduation.

Companies interested in our

graduates include Amazon, Nvidia,

Microsoft, Tesla, ArcelorMittal,

NuCor, Ford, Boston Scientifc,

Rockwell-Collins, GM, Caterpil

lar, Dow Chemical, GE Aviation,

Mercury Marine, IBM, Google,

Microsoft, and Consumers Power,

among many others. Some of our

graduates fnd employment in

government agencies, while others

choose military service. Many pur

sue graduate study in engineering

or other felds.

The technology that improve lives

and shapes society is more powerful

and changing more rapidly than any

other time in human history.

We are in the midst of a digital revo-

lution that will transform life on this

planet—be a part of it.

The world of the future—the very

near future—will have billions of

devices connected on the Internet

of Things, equipped with advanced

sensors, communicating at the

speed of light over a fast network,

and working together using the

latest algorithms for artifcial intelli-

gence and deep learning.

None of this happens without elec-

trical and computer engineers who

design, implement, and test all the

pieces of the system. The work is

important. Opportunities abound in

these areas:

█ green energy solutions

█ autonomous vehicles

█ robotics and automation

█ energy storage

█ artifcial intelligence

█ cyber security

█ the Internet of Things

█ next-generation smartgrids

█ biomedical technology

aunch yourself

into the technological

revolution that is

changing the world.
