School of Electrical and Computer Engineering Educational Outcomes*

Consistent with the missions of Oklahoma State University and the College of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering has defined the following five educational objectives:

1) ECEN graduates will:

  1. Be able to solve undergraduate-level problems in mathematics, science, and engineering that reflect the emphasis of these subjects in the curriculum.
  2. Be able to identify, formulate, and solve open-ended problems in electrical engineering in which they:
    • Propose and defend a valid solution to the problem.
    • Use hardware and software tools to perform experimentation relevant to the problem.
    • Acquire, analyze, and present data demonstrating they have achieved a functional solution.
  3. Be able to solve specialized problems in one sub-discipline of electrical engineering.

2) ECEN graduates will have the skills needed to continue to learn throughout their lifetime. Graduates will be able to: acquire and evaluate information independently, grasp the conceptual foundation of electrical engineering, assess their own level of knowledge, and reflect upon and learn from experience.

3) ECEN students will be able to design a device or system under given constraints as part of a team. The team will demonstrate well defined individual responsibilities, and be able to communicate the results both in writing and orally at a professional level.

4) ECEN graduates will demonstrate professional and ethical discernment, judgment, and behavior while they train to be an engineer.

5) ECEN graduates will address contemporary social, economic, and/or environmental issues in the design of complex devices or systems.

A detailed description of each of the five outcomes can be reached through the number for the corresponding outcome.
