Program Educational Objectives

The program education objectives (PEOs) for the BCE program are built upon the above mission statements to provide a high-quality education through the engagement of students via co-op internships, practical experiences and rigorous curriculum.

The BCE PEOs will generate graduates who :

  • Career Opportunities : Graduates succeeding a broad range of careers in industry and graduate/professional school.
  • Leadership and Communication : Graduates Demonstrate leadership, communication and team-building skills.
  • Life-long Learning : Graduates Comply with professional ethics codes, understand societal issues and engage in life-long learning for continued professional development.


  • The program educational objectives are discussed with constituents every three years and reviewed and modified, if necessary, during the annual departmental retreat. These constituents include employers, alumni and students.

    Process for Revision of the Program Educational Objectives

    The Program Educational Objectives are based on the needs of the program's various constituencies. They are reviewed periodically (every 3 years) by all constituents via the following methods :

  • PEO Survey - distributed via email to current students, staff, alumni, External Advisory Board and faculty seeking agreement and/or suggestions for modification/improvement.
  • ABET Retreat - faculty and student representatives discuss and re-affirm, or if necessary, propose modifications to existing PEOs.
  • External Advisory Board - the Board (employers and alumni) and student representatives review the PEOs and provide feedback regarding appropriateness or need for change or update.
