The educational objective of the BS Computer Engineering program is to ensure that the graduates are fundamentally sound, practical, participatory and professional.

Specifically, two to three years after graduation, the successful graduates will have

• Been engaged in successful professional practice in their chosen discipline.
• Demonstrated personal and professional leadership in their workplace and community.
• Demonstrated effective communication in an engineering environment.
• Utilized formal and informal learning opportunities to maintain and enhance technical and professional growth.

To prepare the students for a successful professional and personal life, the Computer Engineering program is designed to produce computer engineering graduates who have attained these student outcomes:

1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
2. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
3. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
4. an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams
5. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
6. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
7. an ability to communicate effectively
8. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
9. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
10. a knowledge of contemporary issues
11. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
