Program educational objectives
The Department of Electrical Engineering offers separate programs in electrical engineering and computer engineering:
Electrical Engineering Program Educational Objectives
- Graduates can apply electrical engineering principles to solve engineering problems and to address the technological challenges of the future based on a solid foundation in circuits, systems, electromagnetics and devices.
- Graduates can apply modern electrical engineering techniques, tools, and practices to create and apply technologies to meet the needs of society.
- Graduates have developed an appreciation for, and an ability to engage in their life-long learning process. Graduates are also well prepared for graduate school to further their education.
- Graduates become effective engineers in the workplace of the future or otherwise use the foundation of their technical education to progress in their career.
Computer Engineering Program Educational Objectives

The Department of Electrical Engineering offers separate programs in electrical engineering and computer engineering:
Electrical Engineering
The profession of electrical engineering encompasses a variety of technical specializations as diverse as computers and digital systems, microelectronics, photonics, materials, controls, communication systems and signal processing, energy conversion and power distribution, antenna design and electromagnetic scattering, and robotics in manufacturing. Electrical engineers create, research, design, develop, manufacture, and market new devices.
Computer Engineering
Computer engineering is the development, design, and application of advanced computer technology – from both hardware and software backgrounds. Computer engineering includes multimedia systems, robots, microprocessors, memory systems, networks, the Internet, chip design, supercomputers and all other aspects of computer organization, design, and programming.
Electives in both programs may form interdisciplinary links to other fields of engineering, mathematics, physics, bioengineering, medicine, law or geoscience.
