3. Undergo intellectual growth and engage in life-long learning
4. Demonstrate leadership, collaboration, and communication skills in their profession
CENG
1. Graduates of the program will be able to demonstrate understanding of the fundamental
concepts underlying telecommunications and computer engineering.
2. Graduates of the program will gain the skills required for analysis and problem solving.
3. Graduates of the program will be able to continue their professional development and
gain the communication skills required to ensure their ability to operate in an
increasingly global industry.
EENG
Within a few of years of graduation, Electrical Engineering graduates will be able to:
1. Solve faced electrical engineering problems, analyze and design electrical engineering
systems.
2. Serve their profession and/or employer in a responsible, ethical, creative, and
enthusiastic manner to meet the economic, environmental, and societal needs of
industry and society.
3. Effectively communicate ideas with technical and non-technical people, and work
effectively in teams.
4. Be active participants in ongoing professional development, professional growth and
increasing professional responsibility
