Electrical Engineering Program Objectives

B.S. DEGREE REQUIREMENTS | COURSE DESCRIPTIONS | ABOUT THE PROFESSION | TYPICAL COURSE SEQUENCE

Program Educational Objectives are statements of the knowledge and skills that recent graduates of an educational program are expected to demonstrate in their personal and professional lives.

The electrical engineering program's industrial advisory committee, in consultation with the faculty, has established the four objectives listed below for graduates of the Bachelor of Science degree program:

1. Graduates will achieve professional distinction and personal satisfaction in careers that make use of their education, experience and abilities.

2. Graduates will develop effective communication and collaboration skills in diverse interdisciplinary environments.

3. Graduates will attain high standards of ethical behavior and social responsibility while inspiring their colleagues to do likewise.

4. Graduates will pursue intellectual growth by earning advanced degrees, achieving licensure in their professions, and engaging in ongoing self-directed learning.

These objectives are reviewed yearly at a meeting of the advisory committee and the faculty. Current students in the program, the University administration, and the Board of Trustees provide input to this review process by completing periodic surveys. In this manner, the needs of all program constituents are considered, and the objectives remain relevant to all stakeholders.
