The Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EEE) Department is part of the College of Engineering and Computer Science at California State University, Sacramento. The department has diverse faculty and student populations including 12 full-time faculty members, and approximately 750 students which include 77 percent students of color and 10 percent international students. We offer degrees in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, and jointly offer Computer Engineering (CpE) degrees with the Computer Science Department, at both the bachelor’s and master’s levels. Our EEE degrees are focused in the following areas: Control Systems, Power Systems, Communication Systems, Microelectronics Design, Computer Architecture and Digital design. The department prepares our graduates for careers in the demanding fields of electrical and electronic engineering, providing them with a strong background in the fundamental principles of the discipline, as well as subsequent advanced courses in key focus areas. Our curriculum provides practical, hands-on experience through laboratory courses. The undergraduate EEE and CpE programs are accredited by the ABET.
