Program Objectives
The West Texas A&M University Electrical Engineering Program has the following objectives. During the first few years after graduation, engineers from the program will:
- Use engineering theory and experience to develop practical solutions for engineering applications that further the business objectives of the company while at the same time understand business objectives and appreciate the social, economic and ethical issues encountered in a modern global society;
- Demonstrate advanced critical thinking and creativity on engineering projects, begin to take leadership roles on interdisciplinary teams, and communicate clearly in both technical and non-technical forums;
- Be professionally employed, serving the rapidly changing technological needs of industry or governmental organizations regionally or throughout the state and nation; and
- Continue to grow professionally through activities such as pursuing formal graduate study, research or continuing education; achieving professional licensure; and participating in technical societies.
Student Outcomes
Faculty members use the program educational outcomes to develop the topics covered and assignments in each course. By the time of graduation, electrical engineering students will demonstrate competence in:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
Admission Requirements
All electrical engineering students must meet WTAMU admission standards as outlined in this catalog. Upon admission to the University, all students are eligible to engage in and complete the first two years of the Engineering Program. In the semester during which students complete the pre-engineering sequence (cited below), they may petition for admittance into the Electrical Engineering Program. Every student enrolled in upper level electrical engineering courses must first be admitted into the Electrical Engineering Program or receive special permission from the program director.
Criteria for Admission into the Electrical Engineering Program
1. Overall GPA of at least 2.25
2. Completion of the pre-engineering sequence with a minimum GPA of 2.75:
3. Successful completion of the entrance interview with adviser
