Power & Renewable Energy
Explore electric power systems, energy generation, distribution, and technologies connected to renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and biofuels.
Study the systems, devices, and technologies that power modern life, from renewable energy and electric power systems to embedded systems, electronics, telecommunications, and semiconductor devices.
Program Overview
Electrical engineers research, design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacturing and installation of electrical equipment, components, and systems for commercial, industrial, military, and scientific use. They help develop systems that produce electricity through renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and biofuels, and they support the planning of electric power generating plants, distribution lines, and stations.
At Texas Tech, the undergraduate curriculum gives students a broad education in electrical and computer engineering while preparing them to pursue career options in a fast-changing technical environment. Students may choose from a wide variety of elective courses in electrical and computer engineering and related disciplines, allowing them to specialize at the senior level.
