General Information
The objective of Electrical Engineering at UTC is to prepare our graduates to take their places as responsible practitioners of electrical engineering in a multi-disciplinary environment. UTC's interdisciplinary team approach to learning is unique, and is one of the strongest assets of a UTC engineering degree. Engineering majors from different disciplines--mechanical, chemical, electrical--work together on one comprehensive design project during the senior year. Solving problems that aren't "textbook" makes the projects valuable learning experiences, integrating theoretical and practical knowledge. The senior design projects give students a chance to work as engineers in practice would, without the risk of making a million-dollar mistake. Another unique aspect of the Engineering program at UTC is the close working relationship between faculty and students. The low student to faculty ratio, and the use of full-time faculty to teach at all levels, offer students the opportunity to really get to know faculty members, and to take advantage of both their academic knowledge and their professional experience in a way which would be impossible at many universities. In order to meet our objective for the Electrical Engineering program, we have set a number of measurable outcomes, which we feel will insure that our objective is met. These include the following:
- an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
- an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well an to analyze and interpret data
- an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs
- an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
- an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility an ability to communicate effectively
- the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context
- a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning a knowledge of contemporary issues
- an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
As part of our policy of continuous program improvement, we welcome and encourage comments and suggestions on these, and all aspects of the program. The heart of any academic program is it's people. Our Electrical Engineering Faculty is a valuable resource for this program and for the Chattanooga community.
