电气工程专业的学生面临许多具有挑战性的课程。他们修读微积分，物理，化学和电路等较低级别的课程。在SDSU的第二年和第三年，电气工程专业的学生将学习该专业的特定课程。高年级的班级更令人满意，因为他们将理论付诸实践。模拟和数字电路设计，电子材料，电源系统，控制系统，通信系统和电磁学等课程将使学生沉浸于电气工程领域。最有趣的课程可能是每个学生选择的技术选修课。提供的一些选修课程是VLSI设计（即，设计微芯片），生物医学仪器，微波传输，通信系统，数字信号处理，微处理器，多媒体编程，电源系统设计和分析，光学电子和计
Working in teams, electrical engineers fabricate complex, tiny components that are used in computers, sensors, stereo systems, weather satellites, automobiles, modern appliances, and automated factories. Our program includes a core of courses that provides an introduction to the generation and distribution of electric power, the collection, processing and communication of information, and the study and application of electromagnetic phenomena and materials. In addition, nearly a full year of electives provides you the opportunity to specialize in areas of particular interest. The design experience culminates in a capstone design course.
