INTRODUCTION The world of electrical and cyber engineering is an ever-changing one. The advances in technologies over a new graduate’s professional career of approximately 40 years will be phenomenal. While the undergraduate coursework puts a solid foundation in mathematics, engineering science, and humanities, as well as the ability to tackle and solve new problems in a forthright manner, graduate school is the next step in a lifetime of learning for both new graduates and experienced working professionals who have been out a few years and recognize the need for more education. The graduate program in Electrical and Cyber Engineering (ECE) is designed to provide advanced studies for those who wish to continue preparation for effective participation in the professions of electrical, software, and systems engineering. The program also provides continuing education in advanced subjects for experienced working engineers who desire to stay abreast of the rapidly changing technological world. Emphasis is placed on the development of the engineer’s capacity for independent study and continued professional growth.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: The program is designed to guide students to build technical competency, and effective communication and leadership skills. 1. Demonstrate professional ethics and personal values in daily and professional life that exercise informed literary and aesthetic judgments by leveraging diverse cultures and societies 2. Demonstrate teamwork and leadership qualities and/or attainment of leadership roles in a global work environment 3. Demonstrate technical competency in applying comprehensive engineering knowledge throughout their chosen profession
