Biomedical Engineering

Student Outcomes

• SO 1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
• SO 2. 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.
• SO 3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
• SO 4. 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.
• SO 5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
• SO 6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
• SO 7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Electrical Engineering

Program Educational Objectives

The educational objectives of the Alvernia University Electrical Engineering Program are to produce graduates who, within three to five years of graduation, are:

• PEO 1. Continuing their formal education and/or staying informed in their discipline through informal learning, while recognizing the importance of lifelong learning and remaining open to new knowledge and perspectives.
• PEO 2. Actively engaged in improving their workplaces and civic communities through leadership, collaboration, service, innovation, mentorship, outreach, and civic participation.
• PEO 3. Applying their engineering knowledge in industry and civic contexts while practicing moral courage and ethical decision-making, promoting sustainability, and considering the long-term impact of their actions on the environment and society.
