Program Educational Objectives

The Pro­gram Ed­u­ca­tional Ob­jec­tives are broad state­ments that de­scribe what grad­u­ates are ex­pected to accomplish within three to five years of grad­u­a­tion. They are con­sis­tent with the mis­sion of Capitol Technology Uni­ver­sity.

The Pro­gram Ed­u­ca­tional Ob­jec­tives of each of our pro­gram were de­vel­oped in con­sul­ta­tion with the pro­gram con­stituen­cies: stu­dents, alumni, em­ploy­ers, fac­ulty and program’s Ad­vi­sory Board.  

Within three to five years of graduation, CET alumni will:

• have successful careers in the field of computer engineering technology and provide solutions to challenging problems in their profession by applying technical knowledge related to the field.
• show commitment to continuing their education to improve their professional expertise so as to adapt to an evolving work environment.
• demonstrate effective communication capabilities and a strong commitment to teamwork while working in diverse cultural and interdisciplinary environment.
• exhibit high level of professionalism and ethical responsibility, and work for the betterment of society.
