Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering

The electrical engineering BS degree addresses the high-technology needs of business and industry through a rich academic major taught in state-of-the-art facilities that include topics such as:

  • Analog and digital integrated circuits
  • Digital signal processing
  • Radiation and propagation
  • Power electronics
  • Circuit theory
  • Computer-aided design
  • Solid-state devices
  • Microelectromechanical systems (MEMs)
  • Robotics

RIT’s Electrical Engineering Bachelor of Science Curriculum

The electrical engineering major is a five-year program designed to prepare you for exciting careers within the electrical engineering and allied disciplines. In addition to a comprehensive curriculum, you will spend nearly a year on co-op, where you will gain invaluable hands-on experience in industry. Your co-ops will begin after your second year of study. View sample co-op schedules and learn more about engineering co-ops.

  • Years 1 and 2 – Establish a foundation in mathematics and the physical sciences, which is essential to the study of electrical engineering. In other courses, you will learn about electrical engineering principles such as circuits and digital systems. Practicum courses introduce you to electrical engineering practice and computer-aided design (CAD) tools that are used throughout the program.
  • Years 3 and 4 – Focus on the subjects that form the core of electrical engineering. Courses in circuits, electronics, linear systems, electromagnetic fields, semiconductor devices, communication systems, control systems, and microelectromechanical systems are taught.
  • Year 5 – Specialize in an area of professional interest and complete a senior design project as part of the graduation requirements

Electrical Engineering Degree Options

Students may select one of the following options, which provide in-depth study in a focused area of electrical engineering:

  • Artificial Intelligence – The artificial intelligence option teaches you how agents work, while understanding the ethical implications and societal impacts of their designs.
  • Clean and Renewable Energy – The clean and renewable energy option provides an in-depth education into the development of clean electrical energy and the increased efficiency of existing electrical generation and distribution systems.
  • Computer Engineering – The computer engineering option educates you in areas such as C programming, object-oriented programming, and logic design.
  • Robotics – The robotics option provides you with the theoretical and practical skills required to design robots and robotic devices.

Hands-On Experience in Electrical Engineering

Multidisciplinary Senior Design: A highlight of the applied engineering experience is the senior project. You will work on a challenging project under the tutelage of an experienced faculty advisor. While experiencing the satisfaction of completing an interesting project and exploring the latest in technology, students develop engineering management and project organization skills, learn to communicate their ideas effectively within a multidisciplinary team, and present their project and ideas to a diverse audience of students, faculty, and industrial partners. Explore our students’ multidisciplinary design projects.

What’s The Difference Between Engineering and Engineering Technology?

It’s a question we’re asked all the time. While there are subtle differences in the course work between the two, choosing a major in engineering or engineering technology is more about identifying what you like to do and how you like to do it.

Students whose native language is not English must submit results from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), PTE Academic or International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Students may self-report their scores in the following ways:

  • On their application for admission
  • Via email at admissions@rit.edu
  • From your school/college counselor via mail or email

Admitted students will be required to submit their official scores once they choose to enroll at RIT.

All admitted students scoring in a conditional admission range will be tested by RIT's English Language Center upon arrival at RIT. The results of this testing will determine if English instruction for non-native speakers will be required before a student may begin academic courses. RIT also offers conditional admission where students can integrate English Language studies with their academic program.

If your scores fall below the conditional admission range, you may apply for English Language Center admission directly.

TOEFL - 79; PET - 58; IELTS - 6.5

If you have completed your most recent studies outside of the US and have demonstrated adequate resources to cover the entire cost of attending RIT, an I-20 will be sent with your acceptance letter.

Students who are awarded merit or need-based scholarships may use scholarships awarded as part of the documentation of support. The total support, which may include the merit or need-based scholarships if applicable, must total at least $70,000 USD in order for RIT to issue the I-20 or DS-2019 forms necessary to apply for a student visa.

If you will begin your studies at RIT within 5 months of attending a US secondary school, college or university, you will be asked to complete a SEVIS Transfer form with the assistance of your International Counselor.

Once we receive the SEVIS Transfer form, an acceptable Declaration of Financial Support and bank documentation, and you have sent RIT a non-refundable $500 enrollment deposit, your SEVIS record will be transferred from your previous school to RIT and an I-20 will be sent to you.

You may submit your fall application starting on August 1. Spring Semester or Summer Term applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

If RIT is your first choice university, there are many benefits to applying with one of our Friendly Early Decision plans. Learn more about Friendly Early Decision Benefits
