C1. Fit with the Institutional Mission / Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILO)

The ECE Minor Program supports all four of the Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs).  

1. Knowledge: Mastery of content and processes of inquiry

Upon completion of the degree, ECE minor students shall have a strong base of knowledge through cross-disciplinary learning between their academic major and the ECE minor, training of processes of inquiry, and how to apply this knowledge to address contemporary issues facing our world. 

2. Proficiency: Intellectual skills

The ECE minor program is rooted in mathematical and engineering disciplines, quantitative as well as qualitative reasoning, and hands-on experiences.  Students apply decision-making skills in design, implementation, and experiment.

3. Place and Community: Urban and global mission

The ECE minor program is specifically aimed at providing learning experiences with innovation, collaboration, communication, and inclusion. Upon completion of the degree, ECE minor students shall possess cross-disciplinary problem solving skills and shall be trained to apply their knowledge to the development of technology to address the challenges facing our diverse communities.

 4. Transformation: Integrative learning

The ECE minor 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 ECE and other disciplines.

 

 

C2. Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

1. Students will have knowledge of the fundamental principles in Electrical and Computer Engineering to identify applications of this knowledge to problems in their major field and to identify solutions utilizing this knowledge.
2. Students will gain skills and be able to utilize tools in Electrical and Computer Engineering, which combined with their major discipline, will allow them to produce engineered solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. Students will be able to communicate Electrical and Computer Engineering ideas and solutions effectively in a cross-disciplinary professional community.
4. Students will be able to develop and conduct appropriate experiments or simulations and analyze and interpret data, and make judgments and draw conclusions based on their engineering knowledge within one of the sub-disciplines in the ECE minor degree (Computer Engineering, Machine Learning / Signal Processing, Robotics/ Controls, Energy & Sustainability, or Sensors and Instrumentation).
