Electrical Engineering

The electrical engineering discipline encompasses a broad spectrum of technical areas that study electrical phenomena and its properties. The theory, design, development and application of systems that generate power through circuitry, equipment, and other various devices, create innovative ways to improve people's lives. The electrical engineering field employs the largest number of engineers because almost everything in today's world need electricity to run.

B.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering at NIU

The curriculum provides students with a fundamental and practical knowledge of electronic devices and circuits, electromagnetic fields, electronic materials, digital signals and systems, computers, communication systems, antenna design, and many forms of electronic design. The new Engineering Building (built in 1995) includes extensive laboratory facilities that are equipped with state-of-the-art representations of exactly that which is found in the commercial sector. There is the robotics and sensor lab, a microelectronic design lab, a class 100 clean room, an application oriented DSP lab with an anechoic chamber, an RF communication slab with a walk in shielded enclosure, an out-of-doors antenna testing tower, a dedicated computer lab, an image processing lab, and a biomedical signal analysis lab.

Students should always work closely with their community college advisor. Please contact the Student Services Center at Oakton Community College or NIU’s Transfer Center for more help in planning your academic career.

General Education Requirements

NIU's College of Engineering and Engineering Technology no longer requires sequences in Social Sciences and Humanities. Therefore, students only need to satisfy NIU's general education requirements. When choosing general education/core competency courses please consult with your Oakton College advisor, verify general education requirements in the NIU Undergraduate Catalog, and check the Community College Articulation Tables for transferability.
