Established in 1969, the Department of Electrical Engineering has actively contributed to the technological development of society. Several new and successful companies have their origins here. The department's research has also influenced the established industry, particularly through our many doctoral graduates who now work in various sectors.
Many of our former students apply the knowledge gained from their engineering education to introduce new and current methods in their sectors. This is a result of our strong emphasis on collaboration between undergraduate education, research and doctoral studies, as well as large industrial collaborations.
At the Department of Electrical Engineering at Linköping University, we have nearly 200 employees spread across eight divisions. Our courses are offered to more than 3,000 students each year.
