Electrical Engineering Program Educational Objectives

Graduates will have:

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 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.

In addition to the common departmental program mission and common Student Outcomes, the Electrical Engineering program has a curriculum that includes:

• probability and statistics, including applications appropriate to electrical engineering.
• mathematics through differential and integral calculus, sciences, and engineering topics necessary to analyze and design complex electrical and electronic devices, software, and systems containing hardware and software components.
• advanced mathematics including differential equations, linear algebra, complex variables, and discrete mathematics.
