Engineering, the application of science to design systems and structures, is a dynamic field with limitless growth potential. Boston is an engineering hub: The intellectual powerhouse of Kendall Square, home to Google, Facebook, and others, attracts top-tier engineering and biotech talent every year.

Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineers, who focus on circuits and currents, are the people who make your iPads, HD TVs, and smartphones. Notably, our program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, which ensures that your degree gets respect. As part of this approved curriculum, you’ll have the chance to focus on five key areas of specialization:

• Analog Circuits
• Digital Systems
• Communications
• Computer Engineering
• Signal Processing

Suffolk is also home to a branch of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the field’s top professional organization, which coordinates events and networking opportunities.

Technology and Science Initiative (TaSI)

Through TaSI, you’ll have the chance to collaborate with Suffolk professors and local engineering professionals on research projects. Current students are working on building solar-powered offices, examining the thermal environment of tidal mussels, and designing sensing systems for robotic awareness.
