Computer Engineering Program Educational Objectives

The Program Educational Objective of the Computer Engineering program is to create, apply, and disseminate knowledge so that within a few years after graduation the graduate:

1. can successfully practice and mature intellectually in the field of Computer Engineering or a related field
2. can be admitted to and successfully progress through a post graduate program in Computer Engineering or related program.

Computer Engineering Program Goals

To achieve these objectives, the Computer Engineering program’s goals are for the graduate to possess:

1. appropriate technical knowledge and skills,
2. appropriate interpersonal skills,
3. the knowledge and skills to be a responsible citizen.

Computer Engineering Student Outcomes

To achieve these objectives and goals, each graduate of the Computer Engineering Major will attain the following outcomes before graduation:

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.
