Objectives

The electrical engineering program has established the following program educational objectives that are consistent with the mission of the University and the Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering. The objectives describe the expected accomplishments of graduates during the first several years following graduation. The electrical engineering program graduates will:

1. Perform effectively as practicing engineers and/or successfully undertake graduate study in electrical engineering or related fields;
2. Meet the challenges of the future through continuing professional growth; and
3. Exhibit concern for service and justice through leadership within their profession, as well as the community as a whole.

These program educational objectives are met by providing a curriculum which has both breadth and depth. Engineering science and design, mathematics and basic sciences are significant components of the electrical engineering program. In addition to these traditional technical courses, and in keeping with the Jesuit tradition of educating the whole person, the curriculum includes core requirements in the humanities, communications, and the fine arts.

Opportunities for involvement in professional societies, student design competitions, and University co-curricular activities are plentiful and help to accomplish these objectives.
