To ensure that electrical engineering students are well prepared for success in their future careers, the department follows a formal procedure in the development of curriculum. With the help of our constituents, we identify program educational objectives and determine student outcomes. We also survey and assess students in the BS program to determine if they have attained skills and knowledge needed for achieving their career goals. We strive for continuous improvements.
The BS degree in Electrical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Graduating with an ABET-accredited BS degree, our graduates will have enhanced career opportunities and may seek registration as a Professional Engineer (PE).
Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. They include:
Assessments are conducted on a regular basis to measure the extent to which student outcomes are being attained. Information and numerical data are collected from both faculty and students. Numerical data are analyzed. Information collected and the analyzed data are evaluated. The results of evaluation are presented to and discussed among faculty in faculty meetings and in the faculty retreat. Decisions are made and then implemented for strategic planning, course adjustments, and curriculum revisions. Subsequent assessments after the implementation ensure that improvements are continuously being made.
Based on findings in the assessment, the department strives for continuous improvements. Recent examples include:
