BS Electrical Engineering

The Electrical Engineering curriculum prepares our students to achieve the program (student) outcomes, which require that our graduates demonstrate that: 

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