An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.

An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.

An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

The program of Electrical Engineering aims to develop the following student outcomes:

Practice their professional activity in an integral, ethical and responsible manner and compromised with environment and society.

Participate, lead and communicate effectively in interdisciplinary teams.

Create engineering solutions in profit of the community or productive sector, based on natural sciences knowledge and electrical engineering skills.The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) for Electrical Engineering are to educate engineering graduates who 3 to 5 years after graduation: With this, students, employers, and society in general will be confident that the program meets quality standards and prepares graduates to enter a global workforce. The Electrical Engineering program has implemented a process of continuous improvement that will allow future professionals to have a solid educational foundation with the capacity to manage innovative processes, emerging technologies, and anticipate the welfare and safety needs of the community. Likewise, they can dimension and analyze electrical energy measurement systems and understand the processes of electrical energy production.ĭepending on their preferences, electrical engineers have specific research and professional competencies in one of the following areas: industrial automation, electric power quality, operation, and expansion of power systems, rational use of energy, alternative sources of power generation or electric power markets. Graduates are also capable of analyzing the performance of rotating electrical machines and transformers. In addition, they are able to analyze power systems in steady state, both under normal operating conditions and under fault conditions. They are also trained to design electric power transmission lines, electric power distribution networks, electrical substations, process control systems and electrical installations.

They have the necessary competencies to learn autonomously and to adapt to the realities of the environment. Electrical engineers who graduated from the UIS are responsible, ethical, creative, tolerant, committed and environmentally friendly professionals, highly qualified to work in groups and to communicate efficiently.
