Educational Objectives
The educational objectives of the Electrical Engineering program at the University of San Diego are to develop graduates who:
are able to apply electrical and computer engineering and their broad academic backgrounds in their professional and personal endeavors
can adapt to evolving job responsibilities
can contribute effectively on a team and provide leadership in their professional careers
Student Outcomes
To achieve these objectives, the electrical engineering program has been designed to ensure that our graduates have achieved the following student outcomes, including an understanding of or ability to:
identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics
apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors
communicate effectively with a range of audiences
recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts
function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives
develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
apply knowledge of probability and statistics to applications in electrical engineering
