Program educational objectives
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering embraces the missions of Marquette University and its College of Engineering. It is the mission of the department to offer students high-quality, up-to-date, nationally recognized programs in computer engineering and electrical engineering that prepare them for successful careers marked by a commitment to lifelong learning and a deep concern for the impact of their work on others; to advance the frontiers of technical and scientific knowledge through research; and to serve their professional and civic communities.
The educational objectives for the Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering programs derive from the department’s vision for its graduates. Alumni of these programs, particularly those individuals who have completed their undergraduate education within the last two to five years, will be thriving professionals who apply the knowledge, skills and values gained through their study of computer or electrical engineering at Marquette.
Specifically, our graduates are
- Engaged in solving significant problems in engineering or another field as employees in the public or private sector, as students pursuing an advanced or professional degree or as volunteers.
- Capably contributing as members of engineering or other problem-solving teams and communicating effectively within the team and to the team’s clients.
- Advancing in their professional careers — taking on increasing responsibilities and leadership roles.
- Continually learning, whether in a formal degree program or by participating in professional conferences and continuing education programs.
- Acting responsibly when making professional and personal decisions — serving as examples to those around them.
