The first two years of the curriculum allow students to establish a solid foundation in mathematics and sciences. The third year curriculum introduces students to a broad spectrum of electrical engineering course work with specialization and capstone introduced in the fourth year. The senior year capstone course allows the student to consolidate their educational experience with the solution of practical engineering problems provided by industry.
Student outcomes (SOs) describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. Specifically, ABET EAC Criterion 3 specifies the following (minimal) required SOs:
a.???? An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering
b.???? An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
c.???? An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
d.???? An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
e.???? An ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems
f.????? An understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities
g.???? An ability to communicate effectively
h.???? The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
i.????? A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning
j.????? A knowledge of contemporary issues
k.???? An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
