Strategic Plan
June 8, 2005 – updated metrics
Preamble
The College of Technology and the Department of Electrical
and Computer Engineering Technology grew out of the expressed
need of business and industry for employees with the ability
to work in an ever-changing technological environment and
with the ability to apply the latest technology to solve problems
and improve business and industry processes. The definition
of the College’s emphasis is to apply standard and emerging
technologies and business and industry practices to the immediate
solution of business and industry challenges. The department
emphasizes student centered learning and education. In the
beginning, much of the department’s focus was on the
manufacturing needs of the state of Indiana. Although, this
remains a key part of the College’s focus, the department
has matured to a place where it is recognized as a leader
in serving a wide scope of the business, industrial, and service
industry needs of the state, the nation, and the world. The
department’s graduates consistently have one of the
highest job placement rates of any department on campus, with
some of the higher starting salaries among all undergraduate
majors. Note: In the balance of this document, when reference
is made to the Department, it is intended to mean its entire
Department at West Lafayette and each of the statewide locations
(where appropriate). When particular locations are intended,
they will be referred to specifically and/or separately. Constituents
of the Electrical Engineering Technology Program at Purdue
University include business and industry, students, graduates,
employers, other Departments in the College of Technology,
and the Department faculty.
Mission
The mission of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology
at Purdue University is to provide quality, applications oriented
education that produces professionals who contribute to the
advancement of technology and engineering.
Vision
To be recognized as a national leader in Electrical and Computer
Engineering Technology Education through excellence in student
learning, engagement of relevant constituents, professional
service, and discovery activities that contribute to student
learning.
