PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

Based on our philosophy and goals the Faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering have adopted the following Undergraduate Program Educational Objectives. Graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) undergraduate program at The University of Mississippi should:

1. have a sound understanding of the fundamentals of engineering science, computer applications, mathematics, and physics; and have the ability to apply this knowledge in engineering practice.
    
2. be able to draw from physics, computer science, mathematics, and engineering science to identify, formulate, and develop practical design solutions to open-ended electrical engineering problems.
    
3. have experience in using different computers and operating systems for scientific computation, graphics, word-processing, data acquisition, process control, computer-aided design, and engineering communication.
    
4. be able to communicate effectively with adequate written and oral technical communication skills.
    
5. have laboratory experiences in chemistry, physics, engineering science, and electrical engineering that include a focus on health and safety issues. These experiences will include the design of experiments, computer-aided data acquisition, process control, and analysis and interpretation of data.
    
6. have a general education of sufficient breadth to enhance their ability to work and deal with an ever-changing society involving people of different backgrounds and disciplines.
    
7. have an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
    
8. have an appreciation of the need for lifelong learning.
