Program Objectives & Outcomes

Program Educational Objectives are broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparing graduates to achieve.

The Program Educational Objectives of TTU BSEE and BSCmpE programs are:

• Within one year following graduation, our graduates will be:
  • employed in the field of electrical and computer engineering and/or
  • pursuing graduate studies
• Within five years following graduation, our graduates will have:
  • progressed in their careers as measured by indicators such as promotions, positions of leadership, awards, recognitions, entrepreneurial activities, products or processes developed, patents, and/or publications;
  • advanced their knowledge and expertise as measured by indicators such as continuing education, advanced degrees, and/or professional registration;
  • contributed to the profession and society as measured by indicators such as professional service, community service and/or public service.

Student Outcomes are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation.

TTU BSCmpE graduates will be able to demonstrate that they have:

1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
2. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
3. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
4. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.
5. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
6. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
7. an ability to communicate effectively in both written and oral forms.
8. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
9. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning.
10. a knowledge of contemporary issues.
11. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
12. a knowledge of discrete mathematics.
13. a knowledge of probability and statistics, including computer engineering applications.
14. a knowledge of mathematics through differential and integral calculus, basic sciences, computer science, and engineering sciences necessary to analyze and design complex software and systems containing hardware and software components.
15. a knowledge of essential business concepts and project management.
