Educational Objectives
ELEN-EO-01. Depth. To produce graduates who have a fundamental
knowledge needed for the practice, or advanced study in, electrical
engineering. Our graduates will receive an emphasis in at least
two of the following four application areas: electric power,
communications, controls, and microelectronics.
ELEN-EO-02. Breadth. To produce graduates who have a broad
education necessary for productive careers or the pursuit of
graduate education, including a knowledge of important current
issues in electrical engineering.
ELEN-EO-03. Professionalism. To produce graduates who have
strong communications skills, who understand and undertake professional
ethical responsibilities, and who function effectively as members
and leaders of multi-disciplinary teams.
ELEN-EO-04. Lifelong Learning. To produce graduates who believe
that their undergraduate electrical engineering education was
a wise investment and who continue to develop their knowledge
and skills after graduation.
