Program Educational Objectives

The XU Electrical Engineering (XU EE) graduates, formed and trained through Jesuit liberal education are deeply rooted in the Catholic faith and are persons of competence, conscience, and commitment. Thus, consistent with these goals, the XU EE program is geared towards producing graduates, who, within three to five years from graduation, have:

  • (Competence) Become competent and engaged electrical engineering professionals who are proficient in the practice of the    profession using a systems perspective to analyze, design, develop, optimize and implement complex electrical systems to solve real-world problems within the appropriate technological, global, societal, ethical and organizational context.
  • (Competence) Manifested professional growth and career advancement through satisfactory progress towards positions of higher responsibility, completion of an advanced degree, or by successful transition from the "traditional" electrical engineering career path into the allied fields of business, government, academe, etc.
  • (Competence, Conscience, Commitment) Worked as effective, conscientious and committed team members or leaders who embody ethical and professional excellence rooted in Jesuit liberal education and Christian humanism. They have equipped with excellent communication and people skills and are actively participating in their community, church and professional organizations.
  • (Competence, Conscience, Commitment) Become significant contributors to society by producing designs and solutions that are safe and sustainable. Being men and women for others, the XU EE graduates discern, decide and do what is right and strive for truth and will seek to support others, especially in the context of widespread poverty in the country.
  • (Competence, Commitment) Embraced active life-long purpose of advancing their expertise by continuing professional education, attaining advanced degrees or furthering research activities that tackle on critical areas of the chosen field of expertise.
