It encompasses a large number of subdisciplines that are at the heart of both traditional and leading-edge technologies. It is a broad profession concerned with consumer electronics, electric automobiles, aerospace and transportation systems, semiconductor electronic devices, as well as emerging technologies such as machine learning, computer vision, energy efficient systems, wearables and Internet of Things (IoT) tools, hardware for AI and robotics, autonomous sensing systems, and biomedical systems among many others.
Electrical engineering, a professional field since 1884, is one of the largest and most stable professions in industrial countries such as Korea. It is also one of the most popular among all engineering majors. The role of electrical engineers is expected to increase in the Fourth Industrial Revolution as the demand for new intelligent systems and robotics compatible with automation technology, sustainable power technology, modern medical technology, space technology, manufacturing of new generation electronics and AI platforms, etc. increases.
Following an American educational model, SUNY Korea’s ECE program complements a solid theoretical and technical education with high degrees of emphasis on the ability to communicate effectively, teamwork, innovation and entrepreneurship, lifelong learning, and understanding of professional responsibilities and ethical behavior. Our graduates not only understand the theories but also learn how to apply them and address major societal challenges and practical problems. We aim to educate students who, in addition to being technically advanced, have the skill sets to become leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and productive and responsible members of their communities.
Many Stony Brook University (SBU) alumni have been highly successful in Korea, achieving the ranks of cabinet ministers and CEOs of major Korean corporations. Being affiliated with SBU, our students also get a global educational experience by spending a year at SBU. This affiliation makes it easier to continue graduate studies in the US for those who would like to pursue this path.
