Content: Students then build on the core requirements by choosing an advanced technical component and a set of free electives from within or outside of the department. Once the technical core area is chosen, the student is assigned a faculty advisor with expertise in that area to help the student select technical core courses that are appropriate to his or her career and educational goals. The curriculum thus ensures breadth through the core courses and the choice of a technical elective; technical core area coursework provides additional depth. Student Outcomes
Electrical and computer engineering graduates should demonstrate: 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
An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
Program Educational Objectives
Electrical and computer engineering graduates should: Contribute to the economic development of Texas and beyond through the ethical practice of electrical and computer engineering in industry and public service
Exhibit leadership in technical or business activity through engineering ability, communication skills, and knowledge of contemporary and global issues
Continue to educate themselves through professional study and personal research
Be prepared for admission to, and to excel in, the best graduate programs in the world
Design systems to collect, encode, store, transmit, and process energy and information, and to evaluate system performance, either individually or in teams
Use their engineering ability and creative potential to create technology that will improve the quality of life in society
Portable Computing Devices
Students enrolled in a degree program in electrical and computer engineering will be expected to own a portable computing device capable of compiling and running a program suitable for use in the classroom and on the University wireless network. Use of these devices in the classroom and as a general part of the learning experience within our programs is at the discretion of faculty and not all classes or courses of instruction will require the use of these devices. Once admitted, students will be informed by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department (ECE) office about specific device requirements. Curriculum
Course requirements include courses within the Cockrell School of Engineering and other required courses.
