Three to five years after graduation the Department of Electrical Engineering expects its graduates to be Navy or Marine Corps officers who:

(1)  Will have a broad education with fundamental knowledge in engineering, basic sciences, humanities, and social sciences necessary to allow them to:

 

• think and learn independently

• develop insight in problem solving

• practice sound judgment

• develop intellectual perseverance and confidence in reason

 

(2)  Can communicate effectively, orally and in writing.

(3)  Can work effectively, independently, as well as with others.

 (4)  Have sufficient depth and understanding of fundamental engineering principles to solve shipboard, squadron or tactical Navy and Marine Corps engineering problems, both well- and ill-defined.

 (5)  Will engage in life-long learning and will recognize the need to continually update their knowledge and skills.

 (6)  Know and practice their ethical and professional responsibilities as embodied in the United States Navy core values.

 Upon graduation students will have:

(1)  an ability to apply fundamental principles of mathematics, science, and engineering

(2)  an ability to design and conduct scientific and engineering experiments and conduct software simulations, as well as to analyze and interpret data

(3)  an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. This includes problem definition, specification, design, implementation, test and operation of systems, components, and/or processes within performance and resource constraints

(4)  an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.

(5)  an ability to identify, formulate, and solve practical electrical engineering problems

(6)  an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility

(7)  an ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing

(8)  the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context

(9)  a recognition of the need to continually update their knowledge and skills, 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
