Program Educational Objectives
Graduates of the program will:
- Become successful practitioners in electrical engineering.
- Apply their liberal arts background to business and social situations.
- Continue to develop intellectually.
- Acclimate to the business environment.
The eleven generic indicators of achievement listed under the Department of Engineering student outcomes apply specifically to electrical engineering graduates, as a measure of the program’s effectiveness in meeting its stated objectives.
In addition to fulfilling the degree requirements listed above, the following courses must be successfully completed. WSC 1 or placement examination* and WSC 2; 6 hours in literature, literature in translation or comparative literature (chosen from distribution courses designated LT); 3 hours in behavioral social sciences (chosen from distribution courses designated BH); 3 hours in history, philosophy, religion in social sciences (chosen from distribution courses designated HP), and 3 hours in humanities or social sciences.
