• Our graduates will participate in lifelong learning activities including graduate school and other professional education.

• An ability to select and apply the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of their disciplines to broadly defined engineering technology activities.

• An ability to select and apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering and technology to engineering technology problems that require the application of principles and applied procedures or methodologies.

• An ability to conduct standard tests and measurements; to conduct, analyze and interpret experiments; and to apply experimental results to improve processes.

• An ability to design systems, components or processes for broadly defined engineering technology problems appropriate to program educational objectives.

• An ability to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team.

• An ability to identify, analyze and solve broadly defined engineering technology problems.

• An ability to apply written, oral and graphical communication in both technical and nontechnical environments, and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.

• An understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development.

• An understanding of and a commitment to address professional and ethical responsibilities including a respect for diversity.

• A knowledge of the impact of engineering technology solutions in a societal and global context.

• A commitment to quality, timeliness and continuous improvement.

• The application of digital and analog circuit design, computer software and embedded systems to the development of electrical and computer systems.

• An ability to analyze and develop communications, control, computer or power systems.

• An ability to apply project management techniques to computer and electrical systems.

• An ability to utilize statistics/probability, transform methods and differential equations in support of electrical and computer systems.
