What will you do with a bachelor of science in electrical engineering?

Program educational objectives (or PEOs) are broad statements that describe what we expect graduates of AU's electrical engineering program to attain 3-5 years after graduation. PEOs are reviewed and revised regularly to ensure that the program educational objectives are relevant to the needs of today's employers

Graduates of AU's electrical engineering program will:

1. Advance in multidisciplinary engineering careers within the context of Electrical Engineering beginning with either entry-level positions in industry or postgraduate studies in electrical engineering and related fields.
2. Actively engage in teams that solve problems with independent thinking with a drive towards excellence in their job/study performance.
3. Adopt the engineering method with their lifelong learning skills with understanding of complex social issues where engineering will play a key role.
   

The PEOs listed above were developed by faculty in June 2011 with input from alumni and employers. The PEOs are currently being reviewed by the School of Engineering Advisory Board and will be officially approved by Fall 2011. Listed below are the PEOs that were in place prior to June 2011.

Graduates of AU's electrical engineering program will:

1. Be prepared with a basic foundation of electrical engineering in order to pursue successful careers and lifelong learning in engineering, research, and development, and postgraduate studies.
2. Have appropriate oral written, and technical skills including a fundamental knowledge in the applications of computer analysis and design.
3. Possess the skills of advanced problem solving methods used in both collaborative and individual work. These methods include the definition, research, selection and verification of solutions o open-ended engineering problems.
