Electrical Engineering (EE)

Overview

Electrical Engineers work in cross-functional teams to design, integrate, produce, and support electronic devices and systems across diverse specialties such as power, controls, electronics, radio frequency, optics, semiconductor, and audio engineering. Products that Electrical Engineers work with can range from smartphones, medical devices, power grids, or to the design of the computer chips that enable them all.

MECOP interns focusing on Electrical Engineering build a foundation of knowledge in math, physics, and chemistry while gaining real-world experience in electronics and related disciplines.

Internship Timeframes

The following timeframes have been laid out by our participating universities for when an internship should be offered. These timeframes have been structured to allow students to participate in the program and not fall behind on their upper-division coursework schedule beyond the terms that internships overlap.

Coursework Requirements

Each participating university discipline has a set of required courses that must be taken to stay on schedule for program participation. These requirements are optimized to provide the necessary skills to participate in MECOP's internships while minimizing the amount of time added to receiving a degree. If you are a student and want to discuss your current academic qualifications and to plan out your curriculum for participation, please see our directory of advisors.
