ECE Mission
ECE Department Mission
The mission of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at
the University of Arizona is to develop and maintain programs of
excellence in teaching and research which will support the state of
Arizona in its development as a leading center for high-technology
industry and which will support national needs for the development and
application of electrical/electronic/computer based high technology.
ECE Department Goals
The goals of the department with respect to teaching and research are set
forth below.
- Teaching: the department goals are to provide undergraduate
students with a broad-based professional education which will
prepare them for productive engineering careers, and to educate
students in the graduate program to do meaningful research so
that they may become leaders in industry, government laboratories,
and academia.
- Research: the departmental goals are to develop state-of-art
research programs which are responsive to the needs of industry
and government, which provide excellent educational opportunities
for students, and which provide an environment for intellectual
growth and excitement.
Based on these goals, the major constituencies of our undergraduate
program include:
- The industries and organizations which employ our graduates.
- The students and their families who underwrite the cost of the
students' education.
Electrical Engineering Program Educational Objectives
- To provide a first-rate education in the principles of analog and digital circuits, microelectronic devices and technologies, signals and systems, basic computer engineering (including programming), and electromagnetics and optics that incorporate open-ended design experiences and the use of hardware and software tools.
- To prepare students for careers and/or graduate education in electrical engineering as it applies to the major technical areas of microelectronics, signals and systems, and electromagnetics and optics.
- To develop skills for clear verbal and written communication and responsible teamwork, and to foster professional attitudes and awareness of the benefits of life-long learning.
- To provide a learning environment that is based on open interaction with experienced faculty and staff and a curriculum that is dynamic, rigorous, and innovative.
Computer Engineering Program Educational Objectives
- To provide a first-rate education in the principles of computer hardware, computer architecture, computer-aided digital system design, computer networks, software engineering, circuits, and basic electronics that incorporate open-ended design and theoretical experiences and the use of hardware and software systems and tools.
- To prepare students for careers and/or graduate education in computer engineering as it applies to digital systems, computer architecture, computer-aided design, computer networks, and software engineering.
- To develop skills for clear verbal and written communication and responsible teamwork, and to foster professional attitudes and awareness of the benefits of life-long learning.
- To provide a learning environment that is based on open interaction with experienced faculty and staff and a curriculum that is dynamic, rigorous, and innovative.
