Comprehensive Report on Electrical Engineering Program Outcomes

This report outlines the intended outcomes of an electrical engineering program, covering a wide range of skills and knowledge areas. These include technical expertise in areas like circuit analysis, digital systems, and power systems; proficiency in using software tools such as Matlab and CATIA; understanding of engineering ethics; and a commitment to lifelong learning. The report also emphasizes the importance of teamwork, project management, and effective communication skills. Specific outcomes are linked to various aspects of the curriculum, such as the use of algebra and calculus, laboratory experiments, and project-based learning. References to relevant literature and standards, such as those from ABET and Engineers Australia, are included to support the analysis. Desklib provides access to this and many other solved assignments to help students excel.

OUTCOMES OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Outcome 1:
 Associate degree program that encourages the use of algebra and trigonometry at a
minimum level of expertise
 Integral, differential calculus and higher level of algebra and trigonometry could be used
for baccalaureate degree programs at a maximum level
 Expertise the student in both the technical and non-technical field by enhancing the
Capstone or integration of the content and also provides various laboratories in the
student’s expertise field
Outcome 2:
 Digital electronic circuit trainer kit with 300×220 mm front panel with the shock proof
plastic cabinet, power supply, function generator etc.
 Magnetic field apparatus that has 4mm socket terminal with the U-shaped magnet and a
pair of brass rails.
 Physics lab kit such as Newton’s ring, Lambert’s law, Polarimetry, Wheatstone bridge
etc., which could be used widely for the precise measurement, accuracy and durability
Outcome 3:
 Usage of Linear algebra, Ordinary differential equations and complex analysis in the field
of circuit theory in solving the capacitive and inductive analysis problems
 Usage of Partial Differential Equation (PDE) in the field of quantum physics that
includes uncertainty principle (Rogers, 2008), Schrodinger equation as well as a little part
could be used in electromagnetism
 Usage of Stokes and divergence theorem of vector algebra in the field of
electromagnetism
 Usage of Fourier analysis in the field of Digital Signal Processing for the conversion of
time based signal into frequency based signal.
Outcome 4:
 Presentation done by recording the experiment either in the CD’s or video tapes focusing
on the most important points, the structure and the end of the presentation
 Topic chosen to make the audience more interesting
 Explanation done in a short, precise way, speaking slowly, clearly, and fluently keeping
eye contact with the audience.
 Successful presentation includes perfect body language (Nepal & Stewart, 2010),
accessing the situation, taking audience inventory, getting organized and enhancing the
research area in the field of electrical engineering.

Outcome 5:
 Networked digital library of theses and dissertations that enhances student knowledge by
producing documents based on electronics, utilize digitalized library and realize concern
for publishing.
 Fundamentals of industrial designs that could be done through Visual literacy that could
highly increase the activity of the company, which also includes sketchy as well as grid
drawing.
Outcome 6:
 Software such as Matlab, CATIA, ZWCAD, PTC Creo, Solid edge used for the
development of circuits, equipments and analyzing its functionalities
 Matlab software evolves a high level programming language in an interactive
environment used for the numerical computating and visualization
 CATIA helps with designing a product based on the electrical field, which helps in
implementing the product with the real time.
Outcome 7:
 Circuit analysis deals with building up of the circuits by finding all the current and
voltage sources in a given network.
 Digital system helps in designing, processing, storing and communicating the information
in the digital format with the sufficient logic gates (Smith, 2008)
 Power systems deals with the building of electrical networks that generate, contribute and
transfer the electrical power.
Outcome 8:
 More than 22 per cent of electrical and electronics engineer work in the field of
architectural of engineering consulting firms
 About 10 per cent engineers work in the navigation, medical and instrumentation control
field. Same percentage of engineers work in the transmission and distribution of power in
certain power plants
 Their role includes Quality control engineer, Test engineer, design engineer, Process
manufacture engineer etc.
Outcome 9:
 Design the product with the help of the software provided without the hardware
implementation at the first
 Note the required products used in the development such as IC’s, timers, counters etc.

 Estimate the cost of the equipments that has been used and try to lesser the cost at a
maximum with the consideration of the efficiency.
Outcome 10:
 The team members of the project will be guided by the Project Human Resource
Management. They have to thoroughly organize, manage and lead their team members
(Stewart, 2007).
 Purely responsible for monitoring and controlling the Risk management factors and
completes the project in an estimated budget within the sufficient deadline with the cost
and time management.
Outcome 11:
An Engineer should follows certain ethics (PMI, 2008) that
 Holds safety and provide beneficial health to the public
 Services performed only in the particular field of expertise
 Public statements evolved should be in a truthful manner
 Deceiving acts should be avoided by maintaining their honors and laws.
Outcome 12:
Life Long Learning (LLL) means gaining knowledge with the self-motivation that could improve
both the individual and proficient aspect (Engineers Australia[EA], 2011).
Continuing Engineering Education (CEE) deals with the specialized training given to engineers
in both the technical and non-technical field. This involves educating a engineer globally.
Outcome 13:
 Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) focuses on the outcome based on the
Accreditation Board of Engineering Technology (ABET) that understands basic logic
gate combination, symbols, truth table, timing diagrams etc.
 This focuses on the operation of fundamental logic digital circuits.
