Mission and Objectives

Electrical and Computer Engineering Mission Statement

The mission of the ECE undergraduate program is to provide students with a broad and flexible education in electrical and computer engineering, to prepare its graduates for rapidly changing technological fields, and give them a sound basis for professional practice, advanced education, active citizenship, and lifelong learning. The students are prepared to expand this knowledge through research into new technologies, design methods, and analysis techniques that link the knowledge with multi-disciplinary fields and advance the state of the art. With a knowledge of contemporary technological issues and their impact globally, economically, and environmentally, electrical and computer engineers are at the forefront of advances that continually transform society.
 
 
The Rutgers University - New Brunswick program in Electrical & Computer Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
