case western reserve university

I attend Case Western Reserve University, sometimes mistaken for a military academy due to its complicated name, it is a fine institution for learning and engineering. Most often referred to as an engineering school, the actual number of degrees earned in engineering undergraduate is around 30%.

more about the university

CWRU is one of the nation's leading independent research universities, with programs that encompass the arts and sciences, engineering, the health sciences, law, management, and social work.

Although its origins date to 1826, the University in its present form is the result of the 1967 federation of Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University. The two institutions had shared adjacent campuses since the late nineteenth century, and were involved in cooperative efforts for many years. Today, Case Western Reserve's enrollment and resources, distributed among undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs, achieve a balance that is distinctive among American universities.

Case Western Reserve University is located in University Circle, a 550-acre, park-like concentration of approximately 50 cultural, medical, educational, religious, and social service institutions located at the eastern edge of the city center. University Circle attracts visitors from throughout the region to its concerts, theater performances, athletic events, art shows, public lectures, exhibits, and restaurants. Housing, shopping, and recreational facilities are all located in the area.

educational philosophy

Our goal is to graduate students who have fundamental technical knowledge of their profession and the requisite technical breadth and communications skills to become leaders in creating the new techniques and technologies which will advance the fields of electrical engineering and computer science. Because of the rapid pace of technological development in these fields our degree programs emphasize a broad technical background to deal with future technological development. As a result, our programs include a wide range of electives and our students are encouraged to develop individualized programs which can combine many aspects of electrical engineering and computer science. The department prepares students for careers in engineering with degrees in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or systems & control engineering and offers degrees in computer science for those students who prefer additional emphasis upon mathematics and the theory of computing. Our computer science students take the same math, science and humanities courses as our engineering students but, because the computer science program is based in the Case School of Engineering, have considerably more exposure to problem solving than many other computer science programs.

mastery of fundamentals:

• a strong background in the fundamentals of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computing and an ability to apply these fundamentals to engineering modeling and problem solving
• an ability to analyze models for systems ranging from simple electrical circuits to complex electromechanical systems and digital computers
• an ability to design and construct experiments to collect engineering data

creativity:

• for engineers: an ability to identify, reduce to an engineering model, and solve engineering problems that typically involve electrical devices
• for computer scientists: an ability to describe an algorithm and implement it in computer software
• a significant design experience involving problem definition, research, solution formulation, economics, communications, teamwork, and project management.

societal awareness:

• Knowledge of real-life, contemporary issues dealing with physical and information resources in an engineering context
• Broad education necessary to understand the consequences of engineering solutions in the broader context of their impact upon people and the environment

leadership skills:

• Multiple opportunities to develop written and oral communication skills, including the use of modern electronic tools such as presentation software, the World Wide Web, and e-mail.
• Specialized knowledge in a technical elective area, such as electrical engineering, computer engineering, systems & control engineering, or computer science.
• Group activities which develop teamwork skills.
• An atmosphere of self-instruction as a preparation for life-long learning.

professionalism:

• An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility and a commitment to the highest standards of such responsibility.
• A commitment to excellence in all professional endeavors.
• A recognition of the need for and the ability to engage in life-long learning.
• Opportunities for professional development through the Co-operative Education Program.
