Undergraduate Program Outcomes


A comprehensive set of Program Outcomes has been derived from our Educational Objectives. These comprise the knowledge and skills our students are expected to possess by the time they graduate so the Educational Objectives can be achieved. The Program Outcomes are:

1.  Broad Foundation

Ability to apply relevant mathematical, scientific, and basic engineering knowledge.

2.  Disciplinary Foundation

Ability to apply core electrical engineering technical knowledge.

3.  Specialization

Ability of students to apply the skills and concepts within one or more of the specializations within the ECE electrical engineering program.

4.  Laboratory

Ability to employ standard experimental techniques to generate and analyze data as well as use state-of-the-art software and instrumentation to solve electrical engineering problems.

5.  Design

Ability to engage in the creative design process through the integration and application of diverse technical knowledge and expertise to meet customer needs and address social issues.

6.  Communication Skills

Ability to communicate effectively both through oral presentations and the written word.

7.  Interpersonal Skills

Ability to interact professionally with others in the workplace, to engage effectively in teamwork, and to function productively on multidisciplinary group projects.

8.  Engineering Ethics

Ability to explain an engineer’s responsibilities to employers, society, and their fellow engineers as well as an ability to recognize potential and actual ethical problems, analyze critically those situations, and formulate sound ethical decisions.

9.  Engineering & Society

Ability to explain the symbiotic relationship between engineering and society – specifically, how engineering artifacts are shaped by and incorporate human values as well as the ways in which engineering solutions impact society –and the larger social obligations this entails for engineers.

10.  Life-long Learning

Skills necessary to engage in life-long learning and an understanding of the need to continually exploit those skills in refining and updating one’s knowledge base.
