The Program Educational Objectives of the Electrical Engineering program are to ensure that within a few years of graduation, our graduates will:

• Have established themselves in professional roles in industry, government, or nonprofit organizations, and/or be pursuing graduate or professional study, drawing on the skills and broad perspective of a liberally educated electrical engineer.
• Be competent in foundational electrical engineering disciplines while embracing emerging technologies, applying their knowledge and skills across a diverse range of fields and challenges.
• Be committed to professional growth and lifelong learning, continuously expanding their expertise in response to an ever-evolving field.
• Lead lives of significance by demonstrating initiative, leadership, and ethical behavior, and by serving society through their professional contributions and civic engagement.

Our electrical engineering graduates will have:

• An ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics
• 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
• An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
• 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
• An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
• An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
• An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
