Educational Objectives & Student Outcomes: Electrical & Computer Engineering Technology, B.S.

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

In alignment with the New York Institute of Technology mission and the mission of the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences, our program faculty, with input from stakeholders such as employers, alumni, and industrial advisory board members, have determined Program Educational Objectives to prepare versatile electrical and computer engineering technology graduates who:

  • Are successfully employed in electrical and computer engineering technology or their chosen career path.
  • Pursue graduate studies and/or continued education in their field.
  • Function as responsible members of society through engagement in community or professional organizations.

Student Outcomes (SOs)

To support these objectives, our curriculum articulates specific student outcomes. By the time of graduation, students must have:

  1. An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
  2. An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline, specifically the application of circuit analysis and design, computer programming, associated software, analog and digital electronics, microcomputers, and engineering standards to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic(s) systems; and the ability to analyze, design, and implement control systems, instrumentation systems, communications systems, computer systems, or power systems.
  3. An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly defined technical and non-technical environments, and the ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
  4. An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes and to apply project management techniques to electrical/electronic(s) and/or computer systems.
  5. An ability to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team.
  6. A commitment to professional responsibilities, ethical responsibilities, respect for diversity and quality, and continuous improvement.
