work environment as well as in the community.
The specific objectives of this goal are to graduate
engineers who have: a) the ability to communicate their
ideas and designs clearly orally, in written form, or
graphically; b) the ability to work as members of a team;
and c) had the opportunity to develop leadership skills.
3. Have a solid understanding of professional and ethical
responsibility.

engineers who: a) have knowledge of contemporary
issues; b) have sufficient knowledge of the humanities
and social sciences to understand the interaction be-
tween technology and society, and c) understand the

The Department of Electrical and Software
Engineering offers two bachelor of science degrees: electrical
engineering and software engineering. The electrical
engineering degree requirements include completion of at least one
of the emphases: controls, computers, power and energy,
and communications and electronics. The program
has outstanding laboratory and computer facilities
where all students gain hands-on practical experience.
Students graduate with a broad background in electrical
engineering and are ready to take their place in industry.
Electrical engineers design, plan, and supervise
the construction and maintenance of electrical and
electronic equipment, computers, or control systems. The variety
of an electrical engineer's work can range from the
smallest integrated circuit to power systems that cover entire states.
Virtually every device that is either "plugged in" or
runs on batteries has had an electrical engineer involved in
its design or construction somewhere in its development.

The Department of Electrical and Software Engineering
offers two bachelor of science degrees: electrical
engineering and software engineering. Software engineering is the
application of the sound engineering principles in the
design, development and testing of computer software. Software
engineering includes areas such as computer
architecture, programming languages, system performance
evaluation and testing, requirements engineering, and management
of software processes. This program integrates computer
science instruction with traditional engineering courses
with the purposes of bringing hardware and software
components of computers together. Examples of this type of
software development include the software systems that go into
automobiles, trains, security systems, environmental
monitoring systems, etc.
Software engineering is a relatively new specialty in the
engineering disciplines, but one which is rapidly gaining
prominence. By its nature, software engineering is an
interdisciplinary program which provides opportunities for
individuals to work with both students and faculty from other
disciplines such as computer science, engineering,
mathematics, sciences, and management.
Educational Goals and Objectives:
The software engineering program at UW-Platteville is
designed to prepare students to assume positions in
industry for which the expertise in application-oriented software
development is needed and will emphasize the
development of software for real-time systems. The central objective
of the program is to provide a quality software engineering
education that integrates theory with significant hands-on
experience to graduate engineers who practice their
profession with proficiency and integrity. Graduates are expected
to have:
1) the ability to apply the principles of engineering
analysis and design to software development,
2) knowledge of language structures, databases,
al gorithms, operating systems, software architec
ture, system performance, testing, and software
management,
3) knowledge of digital circuits, microprocessors, and
current technology,
4) communication skills and professionalism to
func tion effectively in society, and
5) the ability to engage in life-long learning and
rec ognize its importance.
