Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering Overview

Brown offers a number of specialized Electrical Engineering tracks corresponding to areas of student demand and faculty expertise. Building on the broad scientific foundation provided by the core curriculum and fundamental courses in linear systems, analog, and digital design, these specialties focus a range of upper courses to bear on a particular specialty. There is considerable overlap between the knowledge and skills conferred by different Electrical Engineering specialties, making it possible to switch between different specialties as late as senior year.
