C1. How will the changes fit with the Institutional Mission / Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILO)

• The Electrical Engineering, B.S. (EE, B.S.) program supports all four of the Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs). 1. Knowledge: Mastery of content and processes of inquiry EE, B.S. students shall have a strong base of knowledge in their academic major based on a well-rounded, up-to-date curriculum, training of processes of inquiry, and how to apply this knowledge to address contemporary issues facing our world. The new curriculum map attached to this program modification proposal reflects the mapping of the requirement courses to the mastery of content and processes of inquiry. 2. Proficiency: Intellectual skills The EE, B.S. program is rooted in mathematical and engineering disciplines, quantitative as well as qualitative reasoning, and hands-on experiences. Students use the skills in making intelligent decisions in design, implementation, and experiment. The new curriculum map attached to this program modification proposal reflects the mapping of the requirement courses to the development of the intellectual skills. 3. Place and Community: Urban and global mission The EE, B.S. program is specifically aimed at providing learning experience with innovation, integrity, and distinctiveness in bachelor’s level education provided from a contemporary and global perspective. EE, B.S. students shall be trained in an inclusive and collaborative culture to apply their knowledge to the development of technology to address the challenges facing our diverse communities. The new curriculum map attached to this program modification proposal reflects the mapping of the requirement courses to the engagement in the professional community. 4. Transformation: Integrative learning The EE, B.S. curriculum includes extensive practices in process of making connections among concepts and experiences across disciplines, so that technologies, information, and skills can be applied to novel and complex issues or challenges of integrative designs across electrical engineering and other disciplines. The new curriculum map attached to this program modification proposal reflects the mapping of the requirement courses to the integrative learning.

C2. Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

To ensure that our graduates meet the program’s educational objectives, the following program learning outcomes shall be achieved by the time of their graduation:

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2. an ability to 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
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4. an ability to 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
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
