Program Educational Objectives
The goal of our program is to prepare our graduates for successful professional practice and advanced studies by providing a broad education in electrical engineering and by offering the opportunity to deepen their technical understanding in a particular concentration area of related technical electives.
Our graduates will:
- Apply technical knowledge and skills as electrical engineers to provide effective solutions in industrial and governmental organizations.
- Utilize effective communication, teamwork, and task management skills to work productively within their professions and communities.
- Conduct themselves as responsible professionals contributing to the greater benefit of society through technology.
- Pursue professional development and/or graduate studies to meet the emerging and evolving demands, and increasing responsibilities to a successful career.
Student Outcomes
Our graduates will have:
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
