The Program Educational Objectives of the Computer Engineering
program and the Electrical Engineering program are to produce graduates
who:
- can use their knowledge, analytical, and design skills to generate
and validate sustainable and technically appropriate solutions to practical
real world problems.
- can communicate and work effectively with others having different
roles or responsibilities.
- continue to develop their professional knowledge and skills throughout
their career.
- succeed in their careers by practicing their chosen discipline with
professionalism, care and integrity.
The curriculum is structured to provide a thorough foundation in the fundamentals of both computer engineering and electrical engineering. Design and analysis are emphasized
throughout the curriculum, using a project-based structure to teach students
how to learn on their own and in teams, and synthesize new engineering solutions
by using their knowledge and analytical skills. Great importance is placed
on developing oral and written communications skills. The curriculum also
provides opportunities for an increased awareness of the broader implications
of technology and of the social responsibilities of the profession. These
Program Educational Objectives are met by satisfying the following outcomes:
- An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science,
and engineering
- An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as
to analyze and interpret data
- An ability to design a system, component, or process to
meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental,
social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and
sustainability
- An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering
problems
- An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
- An ability to communicate effectively
- The broad education necessary to understand the impact
of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal
context
- A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage
in life-long learning
- A knowledge of contemporary issues
- An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering
tools necessary for engineering practice
