Mission of the Electrical Engineering Department
The Electrical Engineering Department is committed to providing excellent education in modern electrical engineering practice. Our graduates are uniquely qualified for rewarding and successful careers in materials, devices, circuits, digital systems, signal processing and communications.
In 2005 the EE faculty adopted a new set of program educational objectives that refined the prior objectives and established measurements and benchmarks to monitor progress. The Jonsson School’s Office of Assessment also developed a new alumni survey to measure progress toward these objectives, setting us on a methodical path of continual improvement.
The new educational objectives and measurements are listed below:
- A successful long-lived engineering career
Measurement: The percent of our graduates still working as engineers five years after graduation. - Meeting the needs of local industry
Measurement: The percent of our graduates receiving job offers from he top 20 local engineering firms. - Leading engineering teams
Measurement: The percent of our graduates supervising two or more engineers in a design team effort within five years of graduation. - Actively using engineering skills to mentor and promote the engineering profession among underrepresented populations
Measurement: The percent of our graduates involved in such activities within five years of graduation. - Actively pursuing lifelong learning
Measurement: The percent of our graduates either attending graduate school or taking additional college-level coursework to enhance their skills five years after graduation.
