About
the Program
Mission:
The Electrical
Engineering Department is committed, through close partnership with the
community, to providing quality education that prepares graduates through a
project-based learning to be professionals and to pursue graduate studies and
research. The department is also committed to research that leads to better
solutions to electrical engineering-related problems with emphasis on issues of
national significance by working closely with industry and research centers.
Program Educational
Objectives (PEOs):
Within a few years of
graduation, Electrical Engineering graduates are expected to attain
the following program educational objectives:
PEO 1
Graduates will
apply their knowledge and skills to lead a successful career in Electrical
Engineering and advance to the position of leadership in their profession.
PEO 2
Graduates will
demonstrate effective communication and teamwork skills and recognize ethical
and professional responsibilities in a diverse work environment.
PEO 3
Graduates will
pursue their professional development through continuous self-learning,
research work, and graduate studies.
Student Outcomes (SOs):
These are the same
outcomes as articulated by ABET and are listed below:
(1) Ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering
problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
(2) 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) Ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
(4) 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) 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) Ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation,
analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
(7) Ability to acquire
and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
