  • Meaningful employment in industry, business, or government
  • Leadership positions in their profession or communities
  • Advanced degrees
  • Promotions, awards, and recognitions within their chosen profession and discipline
  • Positive contributions to their profession and to society
  • Overall satisfaction with their undergraduate engineering preparation

Student Learning Outcomes

The ECE program at SUNY Oswego has adopted the ABET engineering learning outcomes as its own.

  1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
  2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
  3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
  4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
  5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
  6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
  7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

In order to ensure that graduates acquire the skills and qualifications derived from the program learning outcomes, the curriculum core ECE courses are designed to cover all the learning outcomes. The table below relates courses to learning outcomes.

Program Constituencies

The ECE Program constituencies consist of

  1. Students - The program objectives empower students for career success.
  2. Employers - Employers benefit from the training and education of a competent skilled engineering workforce, especially at the local level.
  3. Alumni – The value of their education and their degree is constantly enhanced by the continued success of the institution and the program graduates.
  4. Faculty – Faculty are an integral constituency that benefits from the success of the program and its graduates in various ways. Their goal is the success of their students and the constant improvement of their program.

The Engineering Advisory Board

The Engineering Advisory Board (EAB) helped establish the current Program Educational Objectives.  At its meeting on September 30 th , 2022, The EAB reviewed and approved the ECE program objectives with no proposed changes.

The Objectives are reviewed by the students, the faculty of the ECE program, and the Engineering Advisory Board every five years. The next review is scheduled for Fall 2027.

The current membership of the Oswego Engineering Advisory Board includes industry representatives, engineering faculty, and university administrators, as listed on Table 2.E.  Note that, since ECE started at Oswego in Fall 2013, some members of the board are alumni of the institution, if any, not of the program.
