Computer Engineering (ECPE) Program Outcomes
The ECPE curriculum has been designed to prepare students for the achievement
of the ECPE Program Educational Objectives by requiring students to demonstrate
achievement of the following eleven program outcomes by the time of graduation from the ECPE Program.
- Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, basic science, and engineering to
solve problems encompassing the fundamental areas of computer engineering (circuits
and systems, electronics, digital systems, software design, operating systems,
and computer system design).
- Ability to apply in-depth knowledge of one or more disciplines within computer
engineering to the solution of engineering problems.
- Ability to design an electrical component or system, including hardware and software
elements, to meet desired needs.
- Ability to identify and formulate a problem when faced with a situation that
calls for an engineering solution.
- Ability to design and conduct experiments to acquire needed data, and to analyze
and interpret data to solve engineering problems.
- Proficiency in the use of computers and other modern tools and skills to solve
computer engineering problems.
- Ability to function as a member of a team in the solution of engineering problems.
- Proficiency in communicating ideas and information orally and in writing.
- Appreciation of the need for, and an ability to learn new concepts as required
for the continuing practice of computer engineering.
- Understanding of ethical responsibility and professional integrity issues related
to the practice of computer engineering.
- Understanding of contemporary engineering and societal issues, and the impact
of engineering decisions on society in both a local and global context.
