Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineers are trained problem solvers who understand both the informational and power aspects of electricity.  Our program provides students with a broad-based, rigorous curriculum providing a solid grounding in engineering fundamentals, including both analog and digital systems, as well as exposure to advanced areas such as communications, controls, power electronics, and signals.  Laboratories are associated with most of our electrical courses, providing hands-on practical experiences that are essential to a successful career in the field.

Program Educational Objectives

Graduates of the Electrical Engineering Program will:

1. be successful in their chosen career.
2. engage in career-long learning.
3. be effective communicators with those inside and outside of electrical engineering.
4. practice the professional, ethical, and moral responsibilities of engineers.
5. consider the impact that their solutions have on society, both locally and globally.
6. be motivated to accept challenging assignments and responsibilities.
7. be productive members of society.
8. act as mentors and role models to junior engineers and students of engineering.

Program Outcomes

By the time of graduation, students majoring in Electrical Engineering at Ohio Northern University will be enabled to:

1. apply their knowledge of math, science and engineering in combination with the use of appropriate techniques, skill and engineering tools to identify, formulate and solve electrical engineering problems.
2. use engineering design methodology to develop electrical components, processes or systems either independently or in a team environment.
3. communicate in an engineering environment with team members possessing diverse skills and responsibilities yet working toward a common goal.
4. design and conduct electrical engineering experiments, and analyze, interpret, and communicate the results in an effective manner in both written and oral form.
5. continue learning in order to maintain an awareness of current technical challenges in electrical engineering and therefore be able to accept increasing professional responsibility.
6. understand the professional , ethical and moral responsibilities of engineers and the impact that their solution have on a society, both locally and globally.
