Strategic Plan Summary
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.
