What You’ll Learn

Electrical Engineering (BS)

Objectives

The following are our Program Educational Objectives which are our goals for our students a few years following graduation:

The knowledge and skills provided by the Electrical Engineering Program will allow our graduates to contribute to themselves, their employers, and to the field of electrical engineering:

• To themselves: Graduates will be able to obtain gainful employment in the field of electrical engineering or enroll in a graduate program in electrical engineering.
• To their employers: Graduates will be able to make contributions to the organization for which they work.
• To the field of electrical engineering: Graduates will be able to make contributions to the field of electrical engineering.

Student Outcomes

Upon graduation, our students will have the following abilities:

(1) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics

(2) 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

(3) an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences

(4) 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

(5) 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

(6) an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions

(7) an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
