What is Electrical Engineering?
Remember when it was difficult to imagine a charger for your smartphone that did not entail some sort of wall plug? During the past few years, engineers have been busy developing organic electronic and photovoltaic technologies, and presto, the Mophie became a reality. These technologies essentially replaced the use of silicon wires with polymer wires, which are carbon-based.
The true technology pioneers are professionals dedicated to trying out new ways of making things happen, those who are not afraid to dedicate the time and effort necessary to succeed. UTEC will provide you with the education and skills to take your ideas to the next level, why not launch a whole new industry? UTEC encourages its students to take risks, innovate, and break away from what’s commonplace.
