Mission Statement, Program
Educational Objectives, and Expected Program Outcomes
Current as of
10/25/2006
The mission of the Electrical Engineering
Program is to provide a rigorous, practical education
for our students oriented toward problem solving; to conduct world-class
research with a regional emphasis; and to provide technical assistance
to existing and emerging businesses, industry, and government.
Program
Educational Objectives
(revised 2/8/02)
The EE program educational objectives are to equip individuals who, after graduation and initial work experience,
1. are able to use mathematics, science, and engineering knowledge, along with appropriate engineering tools, to solve problems.
2. actively contribute to multi-disciplinary teams, communicate effectively, and are able to solve, as engineering problems, contemporary issues arising from society.
3. utilize approaches and
solutions to engineering problems that are always framed in a morally and
ethically responsible manner, and whose approaches and solutions indicate
an awareness of the impact of their work on society at local to global
scales, and who continue to learn in order to best solve such problems.
