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 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.
- have successful careers, and practice their chosen discipline with
professionalism, care, and integrity.
The curriculum is structured to provide a thorough foundation in the
fundamentals of 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
- 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 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
