About this program
Electrical Engineering plays a role in everything involving electricity and magnetism.
Electrical Engineering plays a role in everything involving electricity and magnetism. For instance, in the development of electrical motors for cars or the design of the very latest wireless chips for cell phones. Electrical Engineering is crucial in almost every modern technology: from reading information on a DVD to signal processing in medical equipment. At TU/e, for instance, we focus on wireless energy transfer. What does that mean for the future? Suppose the battery of your cell phone or tablet is always fully charged, then you won't need a separate charger. And you can use your TV anywhere because you won't have to plug it in!
