-
an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
-
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
-
an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
-
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
-
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
-
an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions

*Capstone courses: The capstone course ECE492 is listed as covering all learning outcomes. However, ECE students will engage in projects that naturally will cover a variety of ECE topics and applications. It should be understood that not all projects undertaken by students will relate to all outcomes. However, every project will cover a few outcomes as applicable to that particular project.
