On this page, you will find Cal State LA, Department of Electrical & Computer Science's educational program objectives and student learning outcomes, and access to the student enrollment and graduation demographics data provided by The Office of Institutional Effectiveness.
Program Educational Objectives
Educational objectives are broad statements describing the career and professional accomplishments the program is preparing graduates to achieve. Examine what Cal State LA Electrical and Computer Engineering program graduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation by utilizing the knowledge gained from their academic program.
Undergraduate BSEE
The objectives of the BSEE program are to prepare graduates who will be successful in their chosen career paths. Electrical Engineering graduates are expected to attain careers in which they:
-
establish themselves as professional engineers in industrial and governmental positions or be engaged in advanced studies;
-
apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes attained at Cal State LA to solve complex engineering problems which meet the needs of a range of audiences in their community locally and globally while making efficient use of available resources;
-
adhere to a high standard of ethics and contribute to an inclusive environment while leveraging their engineering judgment in their professional practice; and
-
cultivate collaborative environments where working together synergistically can outperform individualistic approaches.
