Mission Statement

The mission of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is to prepare students to become successful professionals in a dynamic global environment. By fostering a desire for lifelong learning through a broad-based interdisciplinary core education, both electrical and computer engineering programs provide opportunities for undergraduate research that reflects the expanding world around us, and gives students the tools to advance the state-of-the-art in their chosen specialization area.

Objective 1

To create in our students the passion for engineering that will allow them to understand and correct the increasingly diverse problems facing modern society.

Objective 2

To graduate quality engineers who are forward thinking and equipped with the leadership skills needed to make tomorrow's world a better place through their desire for lifelong learning.

Objective 3

To provide our students with the broad-based interdisciplinary education that will allow them to excel in the global marketplace.

Objective 4

To give our undergraduates opportunities for hands-on research that not only advances the state-of-the-art in their field, but also allows them in-depth study of specialization areas that lead to growing knowledge base in the profession.

Objective 5

To ingrain in our students the desire to better serve society's needs, to search for better ways to solve the world's problems, and to give them the tools to raise the standards of engineering worldwide.
