The department was established in 1965.
Personnel 110 Professors 9 Total staff 120 Annual budget 7 M€ Studies in the Department of Electrical Engineering
The Electrical Engineering Degree Program educates • Bachelors of Science (Technology) • Masters of Science (Technology)
Main employers are • electronics and telecommunication industry • research and education institutes • public administration Studies in the Department of Electrical Engineering
The Bachelor of Science (Technology) consists mainly of basic and intermediate studies. The Electrical Engineering Degree Program provides flexible paths to orient studies for physics/mathematics teacher.
The Master of Science (Technology) degree prepares for advanced positions in electronics and telecommunication industry, research and education institutes, public administration and for scientific post- graduate studies. Research in the Department of Electrical Engineering
The research activities have been divided to our three laboratories and Mathematics division.
The research is typically done in tight co-operation with local but also international companies.
The high impact research has awarded:
European Research Council ERC Advanced Grant in electronics and materials physics (2012-2017)
Finnish Academy professor in electronics (2012-2017)
