Program Objectives

The electrical engineering faculty in conjunction with its constituents has established the following program educational objectives for each of its students:

1. A Strong Foundation in the Core Electrical Engineering Fundamentals-The BSEE curriculum provides al students with the fundamental knowledge and abilities necessary for specialization in all areas of electrical engineering.
2. A Firm Foundation in Mathematics and the Basic Sciences-A firm foundation in mathematics and the basic sciences is necessary for the understanding, application, and development of engineering principles.
3. Knowledge of Relevant Technologies-The student needs to be well informed about current technologies important to electrical engineering, as well as probable future technological advances.
4. Problem Solving and Design Capability-The students needs to develop skills for devising and evaluating solutions to both closed-end (simple solution) and open ended (multiple solution) problems. This includes the design of components, systems, and experiments.
5. Creativity and Enthusiasm for Life-Long Learning-The program will foster an environment that encourages creativity and an excitement-driven outlook among its students and faculty.
6. Schooling in Professional Attributes-Professional Attributes- Professional attributes include communication skills, the art of self-learning, teamwork, ethics, and the essentials of quality management.
7. Breadth of Knowledge-In addition to a breadth of knowledge within electrical engineering, the well-rounded student must have an appreciation for other disciplines, both technical and non-technical, in order to deal with the impact of technology in a global and societal context.

Program Outcomes

The electrical engineering faculty in conjunction with its constituents fulfills the BSEE Program Educational Objectives by defining specific Program Outcomes to be achieved by the curriculum. The current program outcomes correspond exactly to the program outcomes specified by ABET EC2000 Criterion3. Specifically, graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program must have:

1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering;
2. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data;
3. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs;
4. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams;
5. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems;
6. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility;
7. an ability to communicate effectively;
8. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context;
9. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in lifelong learning;
10. a knowledge of comp temporary issues; and
11. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
