Program Objectives

The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering has established the following student educational objectives for its undergraduate programs:

  1. Graduates will be successful in the professional practice of engineering or other related fields. They will obtain employment appropriate to their background, interests, and education and will advance in their career field.
  2. Graduates will engage in life-long learning; e.g., advanced education/degrees, professional development activities, and/or other career-appropriate options.
  3. Graduates who are employed within engineering fields will demonstrate technical competence, such as identifying, formulating, analyzing, and creating engineering solutions using appropriate current engineering techniques, skills, and tools.
  4. As appropriate to their professional or educational positions, graduates will (i) effectively communicate technical information in multiple formats, (ii) function effectively on teams, and (iii) develop and apply electrical/computer engineering solutions within global, societal, and environmental contexts.
