Electrical Engineering (EE) has become the largest branch of engineering and the most-studied engineering discipline. The undergraduate program in SUNY at Buffalo's EE Department leads to the Bachelor of Science in EE (BSEE) Degree. The BSEE program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). EEs work in research and development, product design, manufacturing, operation of technical systems, maintenance, service, technical sales and marketing, consulting, education, and environmental problem solving.

The undergraduate program in the EE Department provides the scope of knowledge and training for employment in the field and also forms the basis for further study at the graduate level. The curriculum emphasizes the fields of electronics, physical electronics and information engineering.

The EE faculty conducts research and offers courses in signal processing, quantum electronics, lasers and optics, electronic circuits and electronic materials.

The first two years of undergraduate curriculum emphasize physical sciences and mathematics. In the third year, the emphasis is on physical electronics, electronic circuits, electromagnetic theory, applied mathematics and the design of circuits both analog and digital. Up to this point, the technical content consists of required courses. The fourth year is largely elective and is devoted to broadening the background, reinforcing lab skills and studying design concepts. By choosing technical electives, students may concentrate in physical electronics, circuits, signal processing or related studies. Students with computer engineering interests may concentrate on design of computers and their interface devices and networks through courses available in Computer Science and Engineering.

Special undergraduate degree programs are offered under EE auspices in cooperation with the Department of Computer Science, the Department of Mathematics, and the Department of Physics and Astronomy. These programs are described under other Special Options and Programs.
