Goals/Mission Statement

Mission Statement

The mission of the electrical engineering department is to provide quality education to the students of the department.

Statement of Goals

To provide high quality instruction and intellectual stimulation for the students
To provide opportunity for undergraduate students to participate in research pursued by faculty
To instill in our graduates the need for life-long learning
To enable graduate students to pursue high quality research so that they will emerge as future technological leaders and academics
To establish strong partnerships and lasting relationships with industry, government, professional societies, alumni and academia. These goals are consistent with the University of Mississippi Vision, Mission, and Core Values Statement and the flagship 2020 goals of UM/2020 Strategic Plan which focuses resources in the areas of instruction, research, and service.

Undergraduate Program Philosophy The electrical engineering undergraduate program is founded on basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering science fundamentals. The program emphasizes theoretical foundation as well as the application of scientific knowledge to the solution of engineering problems. This focus is intended to lead students to develop analysis and design skills, and original thought processes that will serve them throughout their careers in a rapidly changing world.

The electrical engineering program is a broad-based program with an emphasis on the fundamentals of electrical engineering. The curriculum consists of background courses in science and mathematics; courses in the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts that foster an appreciation of the interrelationship of basic sciences, technological advances, and society; and major multi- course sequences in engineering. Multi-course sequence areas are

Core topics common to many areas of engineering
Circuits, electronics, and systems
Digital Logic, computer architecture
Technical elective courses
Engineering design

The BSEE degree program can be pursued with biomedical engineering emphasis or computer engineering emphasis or no emphasis (general). In the first two cases, a specific set of required courses will determine that emphasis area. For general, a broad choice of technical elective courses is available to choose from.

Program Objectives Based on our philosophy and goals the Faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering have adopted the following Undergraduate Program Educational Objectives for graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) undergraduate program:

Pursue careers in electrical engineering or a related discipline;
Provide solutions to societal needs through applied research and technological development;
Support industrial and economic development.

Student Outcomes

To accomplish the objectives of the electrical engineering program, the Faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering have adopted the following Undergraduate Program Outcomes.
