Upcoming Event
- Distinguished Lecture by Dr. Claudio Talarico, Professor, Electrical and Computing Engineering, Gonzaga University
- Wednesday, February 18, 2026, 1-2:50pm
- Spokane, Catalyst Building 202
The recent US CHIPS and Science Act has catalyzed a surge of innovation in microchip design and manufacturing. In this presentation, Dr. Talarico will report on the state-of-the-art use of open-source tools and technologies to “democratize” the process of designing and manufacturing microelectronics chips. Leveraging the use of open-source tools and technologies, along with innovative design methodologies, will play a pivotal role in narrowing the current workforce gap in the microelectronics and semiconductor industries.
What is Electrical Engineering?
Electrical Engineering is all about designing the technology that keeps our world running. From tiny microchips to massive power systems, electrical engineers create the tools, devices, and networks we use every day.
At EWU, you’ll build a strong technical foundation through hands-on courses and real-world projects. If you’re excited by circuit design, renewable energy, mobile tech, research, or developing next-generation systems, Electrical Engineering could be a perfect fit.
Our graduates work at top companies like Amazon, Avista, and F5.
What is Computer Science?
Computer Science explores how computers work and how we can use them to solve problems more efficiently.
You’ll learn a wide range of topics, including programming, software engineering, data structures, algorithms, cybersecurity, and modern computing systems.
As technology continues to advance, the demand for skilled developers is increasing. Whether you’re interested in building apps, strengthening digital security, researching new technologies, or designing large-scale systems, we offer a pathway that matches your goals.
EWU graduates find rewarding careers at leading companies, including Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM.
