Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Mission

The mission of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is to provide a modern, high-quality educational experience for all our students. We provide the knowledge and principles on which electrical and computer engineering is founded to graduate engineers who are technically competent, creative, and articulate.

Electrical Engineering Accreditation

ABET Engineering AccrediationThe University of Tulsa program, B.S. Electrical Engineering, is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (abet.org), under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Electrical Engineering Program Educational Objectives

The current educational objectives of the Electrical Engineering program are:

  1. To establish a professional career as an Electrical Engineer within a few years after graduation.
  2. To successfully engage in advanced study should they choose to continue their education within a few years after graduation.

Electrical Engineering Student Outcomes

Students from the Electrical Engineering program will attain (by the time of graduation):

  1. An ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics
  2. 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
  3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
  7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
