Greetings from the Department Head
I am pleased to send our greetings from the faculty, staff, and students of the Electrical Engineering Department at Penn State.
The Penn State Electrical Engineering Department is among the largest, oldest, and the most innovative in the nation. The EE Department, first established in 1893, is over 100 years old. The PSU Electrical Engineering Department offers B.S., M.S., and Ph. D. degrees in Electrical Engineering. Approximately 400 students are enrolled in the undergraduate program, and approximately 250 students are enrolled in the graduate program, with about half pursuing doctoral degrees. We have over 50 Professional Faculty. We offer approximately 90 courses from freshman to graduate level, encompassing all areas of electrical engineering. We also have a vibrant research program, at both the graduate and undergraduate level.
