Students building a circuit to measure electrical activity in muscles in the undergraduate electronics lab.
The Electrical Engineering minor provides a foundation in the core principles of electrical engineering that can supplement engineering, science, and non-STEM majors at Tulane. Electrical engineering is a discipline that underlies the vast majority of our modern technological world, and students with the EE minor will be able to apply these skills in a broad range of fields, industries, and careers.
