Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes - (HB11)

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

The electronic engineering technology graduate will be prepared to make achievements in the following areas within a few years after graduation:

1. Obtain employment in an electronic engineering technology related position.
2. Undertake baccalaureate studies in electronic engineering technology or any related engineering program.
3. Uphold professional expectations by conducting work in a safe and ethical manner.
4. Function effectively individually and serve as a team leader on collaborative projects.
5. Continually improve skills by undertaking professional development opportunities.

Student Outcomes (SOs)

Upon successful completion of the program requirements, the graduates will be able to:

1. Use mathematical formulas based on scientific laws and theorems as they relate to electricity, to analyze circuit problems, formulate solutions, and predict circuit behavior of both analog and digital circuits.
2. Possess the knowledge and skills to create a digital logic circuit design as a solution to a given problem statement. Build, troubleshoot, and verify designed circuit operation. Provide full documentation on design.
3. Build analog or digital circuits from a schematic drawing. Verify operation using test equipment such as ohmmeters, digital and analog voltmeters, ammeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, function generators, and logic probes.
4. Use software design tools such as PSPICE, Multisim, etc. to graphically document, simulate and test behavior of both analog and digital circuits.
5. Use appropriate technical literature to research and implement an electronic project.  Use an Electronic Design Automation software to design and document the printed circuit board(s), build the project, and follow a test procedure to ensure its proper operation.
6. Use a high-level programming language to program a microcontroller or solve a technical problem.
7. Use a visual programming language such as LabVIEW, to develop a solution to a problem.  Design a program to serve as a system including virtual instruments to display / store / evaluate or plot data.
8. Communicate lab experiment findings in the form of written laboratory reports in a professional manner using appropriate tools such as a word processor, spreadsheets, and schematic drawing software.
9. Present experiment results or research orally.
10. Demonstrate an ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team.
11. Realize the responsibility of the individual technician to work in a safe and ethical manner as it relates to the electronic technician profession and demonstrate the ability recognize ethical issues and utilize the IEEE code of ethics as a guide to determine appropriate course of action in response to these issues.
