The EE Major at Kettering:
Intense and Focused
All EE students take six core classes—the
fundamentals. Then we’ll help you design a
curriculum to fit your professional goals. Here are
the four most popular tracks:
In the Signal Processing track, you’ll learn how to
analyze audio signals like the ones that come from
an electric-guitar pickup, and how to compress
digital information using a variety of techniques.
Our Semiconductor Technology students—on track
for Silicon Valley—take classes about integrated
circuits and learn how to produce electrical devices
too small to be seen by the naked eye.
If you focus on Electronics, you’ll learn about the
basic building blocks of computers, like diodes and
effiCienCy Seeker transistors, and in one class you’ll build a
high-frequency radio transmitter and receiver.
In Control Systems, you’ll take courses in robotics
and control. You will experiment with mechanisms
like the ones that keep a car’s power window from
pinching a finger, or an industrial robot from
knocking a person over.
