Electrical Engineering (Robotics, Autonomous/Aerial Vehicles, and Embedded Systems Emphasis), B.S. in E.E.

Student Learning Outcomes

Students will be able 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.
