Program in Electrical Engineering (EE)

Mission

The mission of the Electrical Engineering undergraduate program is to offer a program that attracts students of the highest caliber and to provide them with an education combining depth and breadth in Electrical Engineering while taking advantage of the diverse resources of a large liberal arts university. Such an education, prepares them to immediately assume positions of leadership in both technological and management capacities. Furthermore, it allows them to pursue further graduate studies toward careers in engineering and applied science research and education as well as other career paths.

Program Educational Objectives

A few years after graduation, Electrical Engineering program alumni will:

  • Successfully integrate the fundamentals of electrical engineering and design/realization practices to develop innovative solutions to complex technological problems.
  • Be able to develop engineering visions and lead diverse teams to realize these visions.
  • Engage in careers or graduate studies in electrical engineering or their chosen field.
  • Be recognized in their chosen fields for their leadership, integrity and sensitivity to global societal issues.

Student Outcomes

Students graduating with a degree in Electrical Engineering have:

  1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
  2. an 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. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
  4. an 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. an 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. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
  7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
