The Electrical Engineering program's goal is to educate the next generation of innovative engineers, through coursework, research, and a culminating student dissertation. Graduates go on to careers in academia and industry, and faculty, students, and alumni regularly publish in leading engineering publications. Research in the department is broadly divided into two areas: electronic circuits and systems and electronic materials and devices, with further concentrations available in each. Our primary graduate degree program, the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, welcomes applications from highly motivated students. In addition to state-of-the-art facilities and work areas, you'll find a warm and inclusive environment of supportive professionals. You'll have opportunities to take your research to the marketplace through Notre Dame's Idea Center, a collaboration hub that promotes entrepreneurship and incubation of Notre Dame startups. And you'll enjoy a rich quality of life through a combination of generous stipends, Notre Dame's emphasis on personal and professional growth, and the many benefits of the region. Being part of the Notre Dame's alumni family will provide you with unmatched professional networking and career development opportunities for the rest of your life.
