Program Educational Objectives for the B.S.E.E. Degree

The B.S. in Electrical Engineering program strives to provide a high quality degree that emphasizes fundamental principles, responds to the changing demands and opportunities of technology, challenges the exceptional ability of Rice students, and prepares these students for roles of leadership in their chosen careers.

In support of this goal, the B.S. in Electrical Engineering's program educational objectives are to produce graduates who:

  1. Practice electrical and computer engineering, and related fields, and/or obtain an advanced degree in electrical and computer engineering, and related fields.
  2. Use mathematical modeling and problem-solving skills in electrical and computer engineering and other technical applications.
  3. Analyze, incorporate, and adapt to new technical and scientific developments.
  4. Assume increasing professional responsibility and enhance communication and teamwork abilities.
