Statement of Objectives and Outcomes

Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Program Statement of Objectives

  1. The required undergraduate curriculum will be broadly based so the impact of electrical engineering solutions to the relevant societal issues, will be understood by our graduates.
  2. Our graduates will be able to analyze and solve electrical engineering problems by applying fundamental knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering using modern engineering methods.
  3. Our graduates will be able to identify, formulate, and solve electrical engineering problems using a process that includes the steps of planning, specification development, design, implementation, and verification to meet performance, cost, time, safety, and quality requirements.
  4. Our graduates will be able to design and conduct scientific and engineering experiments and be able to analyze and interpret the resulting data.
  5. Our graduates will be able to communicate and function, both individually and within multidisciplinary teams.
  6. Our graduates will have an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
  7. Our graduates will recognize the need for and will have the ability and the desire to engage in life-long learning.

Desired Outcomes:

Our graduates must demonstrate an ability:
  1. to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering,
  2. to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data,
  3. to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs,
  4. to function on multi-disciplinary teams,
  5. to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems,
  6. to understand professional and ethical responsibilities,
  7. to communicate effectively,
  8. through the broad education necessary, to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context,
  9. to engage in life-long learning, and understand the need for, and have the desire to engage in it,
  10. to understand contemporary issues,
  11. to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
  12. to apply the knowledge of advanced mathematics of differential equations, linear algebra, complex variables, and discrete mathematics.
