• Student employers. This group expects to hire fresh employees who are technically<br />

competent, productive, self-motivated learners, team members, and have excellent<br />

communication skills.<br />

3.3 Program Educational Objectives<br />

Computer Engineering Technology graduates are expected to demonstrate (short title at<br />

the end of each objective for future reference in this document):<br />

1. technical proficiency by applying disciplinary reasoning and critical thinking to identify,<br />

analyze and solve problems in computers, systems integration, automation, digital<br />

systems, data communications, computer networks, and electronics (Technical<br />

Competency).<br />

2. effective communication skills in both oral and written form to articulate technical<br />

knowledge, ideas, and proposals (Communication Competency)<br />

3. organizational, and increasing levels of managerial skills in their chosen field (Managerial<br />

Competency).<br />

4. the awareness of professional, ethical and social responsibility and impact of engineering<br />

technology practices in <strong>Indiana</strong> and a diversified world (Responsibility Awareness).<br />

5. the ability to function effectively, think independently and work collaboratively in a<br />

team environment (Teamwork Competency).<br />

3.4 Consistency with Missions<br />

The program’s educational objectives correlate well with mission statements of all parent<br />

units. These statements share the common educational values: graduating professionally<br />

competent students who can serve both as a leader and team member under different<br />

circumstances, and understand the impact of their work both to themselves and society as<br />

a whole.<br />

We believe our educational objectives incorporate these values:<br />

• The first two objectives reflect program’s commitment to providing quality undergraduate<br />

education in both technical and liberal studies.
