EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
From the moment students step on campus, Valpo’s electrical engineering program ensures they gain direct experience. Whether designing circuits, developing renewable energy solutions, or participating in industry-sponsored research, students graduate with a portfolio of practical projects that set them apart in the job market. Internship and co-op opportunities with top tech companies further enhance their professional development.
In addition to coursework, students work on cutting-edge projects in Valpo’s stateof-the-art labs, such as the Power and Energy Lab and the Embedded Systems Lab. These facilities provide useful training with industry-standard equipment, allowing students to build, test, and optimize electrical systems. Collaborative projects with faculty and industry partners enable students to contribute to innovations in sustainable energy, autonomous systems, and innovative technology.
Beyond internships and labs, students participate in national engineering competitions, hackathons, and research symposiums where they showcase their expertise. Through these experiences, they develop problem-solving abilities, technical proficiency, and teamwork skills – ensuring they are well-prepared to meet the demands of the modern engineering workforce. Valpo’s emphasis on experiential learning guarantees that students graduate with serviceable knowledge, confidence, and a competitive edge in the job market.

“I took Fundamentals of Computer and Electrical Engineering and went deeper into all the different areas of electrical engineering. It’s one of my favorite classes I’ve taken to this day; the hands-on experience was so interesting and led me to choose a major that hadn’t even been on my list originally.”
