Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) and Student Outcomes (SOs)

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) and the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCpE), granted by the College of Engineering.  The BSCpE program is administered by ECE Department in consultation with the School of Computing.

BSCpE PEOs

The program educational objectives (PEOs) of the Computer Engineering Degree Program are to produce graduates who, during their first few years after graduation, will:

• Achieve professional advancement with increasing responsibility, leadership, and mentorship.
• Function effectively on multidisciplinary teams, and individually, to develop and apply computer engineering solutions within a global, societal, and environmental context.
• Communicate effectively and manage resources skillfully as members and leaders of their profession.
• Advance professional competence through continuous learning such as advanced degrees, professional registration, leadership through ethical standards and professionalism.

BSCpE Student Outcomes

Graduates of the Computer Engineering Program at the University of South Alabama will have:

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.
