Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Electrical and Systems Engineering
Electrical and Systems Engineering at NYU Shanghai is designed to create technological leaders with a global perspective, a broad education, and the capacity to think creatively. Innovations by electrical engineers touch every aspect of modern life, from the subway systems beneath our cities to the HD televisions on our walls to the smart phones in our pockets. But this process of innovation is never complete, and new challenges await tomorrow’s electrical engineers. The Electrical and Systems Engineering program draws upon courses across an array of disciplines. The liberal arts core provides the intellectual breadth, a “license to learn,” preparing students to thrive in a multicultural globalized world and to learn and adapt quickly in areas that evolve with ever-increasing swiftness. Students not only gain a firm grounding across various science and engineering fields that underscore the technical component of an engineering education, but also draw upon courses to develop an understanding of cultural, political, economic, environmental, and public safety considerations. These studies often include hands-on coursework in our state-of-the-art laboratories. In addition, the variety of specialized subjects you can investigate through elective coursework — from wireless communication to smart grid power systems — ensures a highly flexible education suited to your particular interests.

Student Testimonial
“Servi
ce has always been one of my passions, but I have also always been interested in technology and science. I therefore decided to pursue Electrical Engineering in an effort to combine these two interests, so that one day I can use my technical knowledge to help the advancement of technology that can help ease the lives of others. While my plans after graduation from NYU Shanghai are yet to be determined, I hope to pursue further studies or experience in an engineering field that helps me exercise innovation and creativity. But what I like most about my field is the wide range of areas it exposes me to – from huge power systems to small electronics and tiny integrated circuits in the objects we use everyday. EE has helped me understand the true power of engineering and its necessity to drive today’s world.” – Lathika Chandra Mouli, Class of 2017
