Electrical Engineering Program Educational Objectives

Having been formed through Christian, Catholic and Benedictine values as whole persons for the whole of life, within a few years of completing their degrees, graduates of the University of Mary Electrical Engineering Program will be able to:

• Act as competent professionals of the highest integrity in Electrical Engineering or related fields.
• Be prepared to pursue further development through graduate education, short courses, pursue professional licensure, or other training programs in engineering or related fields.
• Show leadership and a spirit of service, both professionally and socially.
• Be able to work in multidisciplinary teams, make ethical decisions, and communicate effectively.

Plans for the Future

The University of Mary is constructing a new Engineering building, including classrooms, laboratories and offices, which will be completed by Fall 2020. Additionally, ABET accreditation will be sought for the Bachelor’s Degree program in Electrical Engineering during the 2020-2021 cycle. Electrical Engineering degrees awarded before accreditation will be retroactively accredited.
