Innovations by electrical engineers touch every aspect of modern life, from the subway systems beneath our cities, to the HD televisions on our walls and the smartphones in our pockets. This process of innovation is never complete, and new challenges await tomorrow’s electrical engineers. The Electrical and Systems Engineering program draws upon courses across an array of disciplines – including mathematics, physics, and computer science – in addition to a wide variety of courses in electrical and systems engineering. The liberal arts core provides the intellectual breadth, a “license to learn,” preparing students to thrive in a multicultural globalized world and to learn and adapt quickly in areas that evolve with ever-increasing swiftness. The courses often include hands-on coursework in our state-of-the-art laboratories. In addition, the variety of specialized subjects you can investigate through elective coursework — from micro-electronics to wireless communication and smart grid power systems — ensures a highly flexible education suited to your particular interests.

You can apply your electrical and systems engineering training across a wide spectrum of fields. Launch a career in electronic design, bioengineering, city planning, and Astronautics, or pursue opportunities in image processing, telemetry, computer design, and patent law. Some graduates also pursue advanced studies toward a master’s or doctorate degree.

New York University Shanghai (NYU Shanghai) is a distinctive Sino-American university that combines NYU’s global network with local insight and energy. Established through a partnership with East China Normal University, the campus delivers an English-language liberal arts and sciences education while encouraging students to develop Chinese proficiency as part of their graduation pathway. The result is a rigorous, globally oriented curriculum designed to prepare graduates for careers that bridge cultures and markets.

Academics at NYU Shanghai emphasize critical thinking, interdisciplinary exploration, and research across the humanities, social and natural sciences, and mathematics. Students learn from international faculty and benefit from access to NYU’s extensive library and research resources, modern labs, and a range of roughly thirteen undergraduate and professional programs. The main Pudong campus offers sizable teaching and study spaces, an auditorium and colloquium venues, and technology-rich classrooms that keep the campus connected to NYU’s global system.

Student life balances academic intensity with practical living arrangements and extracurricular engagement. Residence halls provide single, double, or triple rooms with communal facilities and student mentors; dining, clubs, volunteer programs, and athletics expand personal and professional networks. Situated in Shanghai, a major global hub for finance, culture, and innovation, NYU Shanghai gives international students daily language and internship opportunities and a dynamic urban context for career development and cross-cultural learning.
