Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes

The Citadel Electrical Engineering program prepares graduates to:

Succeed in the practice of electrical engineering, by ethically and judiciously applying engineering methods to solve problems facing a technologically complex society.
Develop and apply current hardware and software tools, equipment, and development environments to conduct and/or lead engineering design and assessment.
Value and pursue lifelong learning through postgraduate education, professional registration, or employment, to keep current in engineering fields, and to sustain awareness of engineering related issues.
Be principled leaders with strong communications and team-building skills.

The Citadel’s Electrical Engineering program includes assessment to demonstrate that students obtain an ability to:

identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
communicate effectively with a range of audiences
recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
