Minors in addition to Biblical Studies

15-27 Units

Academic Catalog

The Electrical Engineering (EE) degree is designed to give students a thorough grounding in electrical and electronic systems science and applied mathematics. The degree overlaps with the CPE degree but generally emphasizes electrical systems, including analog systems. The study, design, and control of electrical signals in hardware are central to the program.

Program Educational Objectives & Student Outcomes

Program Educational Objectives

Our graduates will:

1. Exceed expectation of employers in both technical expertise and Christ-like character (professional ethics).
2. Continue to learn and hone technical skills to better serve humanity, who is made in the image of God, in a continuously developing industry by appropriately using God’s creation.
3. Faithfully fulfill all prescribed roles, whether as a team-member or team-leader, displaying integrity and excellence for all service is ultimately to the glory of God.

Student Outcomes

1. Provide an understanding of the biblical foundation of engineering and technology.
2. Cultivate a mentality which strives for perfection because it is motivated for Christ and Scripture.
3. Instill the ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
4. Instill the 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.
5. Instill the ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
6. Instill the ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impacts of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and social contexts.
7. Instill the 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.
8. Instill the ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
