Electrical engineering encompasses disciplines such as electronics, communication, control, digital systems, and signal/image processing. A minor in electrical engineering provides a foundation to explore specialized material in electrical engineering. The minor is designed to provide students from other engineering or non-engineering disciplines an introduction to the wide-ranging content of the electrical engineering major. The minor is closed to students majoring in electrical engineering, electrical engineering technology, and computer engineering technology.

Quarter Curriculum - For Reference Only

Effective fall 2013, RIT will convert its academic calendar from quarters to semesters. The following content has been made available as reference only. Currently matriculated students who began their academic programs in quarters should consult their academic adviser for guidance and course selection.

A minor in electrical engineering exposes students to the fundamentals of electrical engineering and provides a foundation to explore specialized material in electrical engineering professional electives or graduate courses.
