The Electrical Engineering minor will provide 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.

Primary Advisor: Prof. Ryan Gelfand
