Southern Illinois University - Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering
Technological Revolutionaries.
Rapidly developing technology that transforms our world – that’s what Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering have in common. It’s really all about systems – systems that speed worldwide communication, make power delivery more efficient, streamline data processing for major research, or monitor the human circulatory system. These branches of engineering are what drives technological advancement, and puts theory into life-saving, life-improving, climate-saving practice.

Careers
The career you discover may not even have been invented yet – that’s how fast technology in these areas moves, and that’s how adaptable your degree is.
Graduates in these areas of engineering are sought after for practical applications of advanced technological knowledge – in industry, business, and healthcare, and in any area where automation, electronic communication and data storage are needed.
Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineers work in the research, development and manufacture of power generation and distribution, smart grids, autonomous systems, electronics, broadcast and telecommunications systems, including fiberoptics, and more.
You can expand your career horizon by specializing in Power & Energy Engineering. Consider this option if you are interested in renewable energy, smart grids, electric vehicles, and power electronics
Computer Engineering
Computer engineering careers appeal to those who want to get started right away, to learn practical lessons and not just theory.
At SIU, your labs include work with robotics and machine learning, cyber systems and security, systems software, chip design and reprogramming, computer system architectures, mobile computing, multi processors, and more.
Biomedical Engineering
Biological engineers design life-saving medical devices such as artificial organs and diagnostic machines. They design and maintain the computers and software used in healthcare. This means careers in research and development, but also in providing technical support and training to the medical teams using this equipment.
Biomedical engineering is a challenging and rewarding career path offering high salaries and the opportunity to give back to your community.
