About the Electrical Engineering Program 

Agnieszka Miguel, PhD, Chair

Electrical engineering is concerned with the use of electrical energy for the benefit of society. The profession of electrical engineering is scientifically based and design oriented. As such, its practice draws heavily upon the areas of mathematics, physics, and computer science as well as other branches of engineering and natural science. The program strives to provide a broad foundation that will prepare graduates for productive lifelong careers in any of the various sub-fields of electrical engineering. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is teaching oriented and offers an undergraduate program that provides an integrated, contemporary perspective of the electrical engineering profession. The department’s goals are contained within its mission statement and related objectives:

Mission Statement

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 Educational Objectives 

The electrical engineering program, in harmony with the university mission statement,  strives to prepare graduates who will:

• Make professional contributions through the attainment of a position in electrical engineering or related field (Professional formation).
• Engage in personal and professional growth through the completion of advanced degrees or other forms of continuing education (Educating the whole person).
• Contribute to society or the profession through the involvement in professional organizations or other service activity (Empowering leaders for a just and humane world).

Our Student Outcomes are:

1. Fundamentals - an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
2. Experimentation - an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze   and interpret data
3. Design - 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
4. Teamwork - an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams
5. Problem Solving - an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
6. Ethics - an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
7. Communication - an ability to communicate effectively
8. Global Awareness - the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
9. Life-Long Learning - a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
10. Contemporary Issues - a knowledge of contemporary issues
11. Modern Tools - an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

Engineering challenges I faced at the Medishare hospital Haiti.  George Balagtas

I generated a test protocol toward hopefully restoring X-ray functionality.  The mechanical engineer who has been doing his best to troubleshoot the machine believes that there might be faulty circuitry on the PCB assembly.  I did indeed discover three burnt out transistors, a couple of charred passives, and even two cracked IC's nearby the board's voltage regulators.  Literally, that board is toast!
