Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
1) Integrate knowledge and practice of fundamental principles in Signal Processing, Communications, and Networking
The Program offers courses and ample opportunities for cutting-edge research on fundamental aspects of signal acquisition, representation, transmission and processing of data, single and multi-user wireless point-to-point and networked communications, as well as computational biomedical imaging.
2) Integrate knowledge and practice of fundamental principles in Optics and Photonics
The Program offers courses and ample opportunities for cutting-edge research on fundamental aspects of materials science and numerical modeling with diverse device applications, such as ultra-high resolution imaging, photovoltaics, sensing, quantum cryptography and secure communications.
3) Integrate knowledge and practice of fundamental principles in Solid State Electronics
The Program offers courses and ample opportunities for cutting-edge research on electronic devices and circuits, with broad application to state-of-the-art technologies such as high-performance, high-speed, computer and communication networks, “smart” medical devices and alternative energy sources.
4) Integrate knowledge and practice of fundamental principles in Energy Systems
The Program offers courses and ample opportunities for cutting-edge research on generation, storage, transmission, and distribution of electric power, energy control, efficiency improvement, demand side management, power quality and economics, renewable resources and integration, and smart grid communications.
5) Assess and articulate personal/professional skills
All of the classes in the department require students to communicate and articulate effectively, using a professional and academic manner, to express their knowledge via exams, projects and presentations. Our EE616 class (“Technical Synthesis and Communication”) was specifically designed to provide guidance and instruction on how to self-author a digital identity using an ePortfolio for dissemination. This course is a combination of small group seminars and individual tutorials. More specifically, our EE616 class helps students to (i) synthesize advanced technical knowledge in a traditional or emerging area of specialization within Electrical Engineering; (ii) effectively communicate the scientific and societal impact of their work, and disseminate new knowledge acquired within their program; and (iii) effectively use technical resources and to coordinate with peers and subject matter experts to achieve project goals.
