Program Mission
Within the rich tradition of Jesuit education, it is the mission of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering to teach and prepare broadly-educated, socially responsible, articulate, and skilled engineers for leadership in electrical engineering and related fields.
Program Objectives:
In addition to its mission statement, the electrical engineering program has adopted a set of objectives which more specifically describe our goals. The department strives to prepare graduates who have the following traits:
Technical Proficiency
Basic knowledge in mathematics, physics, computing, and engineering theory and practice appropriate to the students' chosen areas of specialization.
Communication Skills
Ability to communicate effectively and to critically evaluate meaning in written, oral, and graphical forms making use of modern information technology as appropriate.
Professional Development
Appreciation of the broad spectrum of abilities needed in professional practice including skills in teamwork, leadership, creativity, and project management, and an understanding of professional ethics, workplace conventions, safety, and economics.
Personal Breadth
Appreciation of non-technical aspects of engineering, including ethical considerations, concern for society and the environment, and multi-cultural perspectives, as well as a commitment to life-long learning and service to the professional and civic communities.
