Undergraduate Program Objectives

The educational objectives of the Electrical Engineering undergraduate program are to produce graduates who will within a few years of graduation:

  • Advance professionally as productive, practicing engineers through the continued development of their technical capabilities and expertise.
  • Further develop their knowledge, skill set, and career opportunities through graduate education in engineering and other fields such as business, medicine, and law.

These objectives are consistent with the mission of the University of Colorado Denver, congruent with the goals of the College of Engineering and Applied Science and reflective of the mission of the Department of Electrical Engineering.
