Electrical Engineering

Electronics-savvy improvisers, inventors, and builders — come help develop the next generation of consumer gadgets and utility services.

Electrical engineers draw upon mathematics and science to design devices, systems and processes in every industrial and technological sector, from power generation and manufacturing to cell phones and computers. Our students graduate from our accredited program, by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, with hands-on experience, specialized training, and problem-solving skills to flourish in entry-level engineering positions. From there? The career potential is unlimited.

Our highly respected program is taught by mentoring faculty with terminal degrees and specialty areas of focus, with students who are sought after by area companies who know we produce job-ready graduates.

Facilities

Kinsley Engineering Center

Renovated in 2008 with design input from faculty, staff and students, Kinsley Engineering Center houses our entire program. You’ll have 24/7 access, computer access, study nooks, locker space, a canteen area — it’s a second home of sorts for our dedicated students.

Computer Science Labs

Use our visualization lab and the 3-D projection system for your senior design projects. Take advantage of the high-performance Linux cluster in the Software Engineering Lab and its 24 PCs.

York College engineering professors use hands-on learning with professional equipment.

Engineering Labs

We offer seven specialized lab settings: Automation and Robotics; Electronic Instrumentation; Embedded Systems; Signal Processing and Communication; Power Systems and Energy Conversion; Thermodynamics, Fluids and Heat Transfer; and Materials Science and Engineering.

The Kinsley Engineering Center has a full machine technology lab with metal and woodworking equipment

Harry E.Zumbrun Machining Technology Lab

We’ve dedicated 5,500-square feet for industry-standard machines and power tools of all sizes. You’ll get to start using them freshman year, learning shop safety and basic operation. You’ll have access to our weld shop and wood shop, too.

Civil Engineering Center

The Civil Engineering Center opened in 2018. The Center provides engineering students with state-of-the-art classroom and lab spaces to gain hands-on, practical experience.
