Electrical Engineering Educational Objectives
The mission of Texas Tech University and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center is to provide the highest standard of excellence in higher education, while pursuing continuous quality improvement, stimulating the greatest degree of meaningful research and supporting faculty and staff in satisfying those whom we serve. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering supports the mission of the University through its undergraduate programs by providing students with appropriate curricula and educational experiences. The curricula remain current through continuing assessment by employers, alumni, faculty and students. The electrical engineering areas in the department include circuits and systems, electronics, communications, digital systems, microcontrollers, programming, control systems, electromagnetics and a number of technical and nontechnical support courses. Students obtain a broad education necessary to understand the impact of electrical engineering solutions in a global, societal, and environmental context. To accomplish the mission, the electrical engineering faculty, with advice from students, alumni and employers, endorse the following objectives:
