Program Educational Objectives

  1. Graduates will apply principles of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to solve real-world problems.
  2. Graduates will apply their theoretical knowledge to design, test, analyze, and improve broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to electronics and computer engineering technology (ECET) disciplines.
  3. Graduates will effectively use communication and project management skills in oral, written, visual, and graphic modes within interpersonal and team environments in the ECET disciplines.
  4. Graduates will grow professionally practicing life-long learning through self-study, continuing education, participation in technical societies, and/or pursuit of professional certification.
  5. Graduates will evaluate the social and ethical implications of their work and will comply with all codes and regulations governing their work.

Student Learning Outcomes

  1. Apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to solve broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the ECET discipline.
  2. Design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the ECET discipline.
  3. Evaluate appropriate technical literature to create written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly defined technical and non-technical environments.
  4. Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.
  5. Demonstrate time management and function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
