Educational Objectives
The objectives of the Computer Engineering program are to produce graduates who,
within a few years of graduation:
1.
Apply their engineering and problem solving skills towards engineering practice,
engineering graduate school, or non-engineering fields such as medicine, science,
business, law, or public policy, while continuing to engage in life-long learning.
2.
Value and demonstrate character in their chosen vocation by acting responsibly,
ethically, and professionally while contributing to a sustainable common good for
society.
3.
View their educational experience as valuable and instrumental to their
professional success.
