Like the St. Augustine campus' mission statement, the Department's mission statement flows from the University's mission to "unlock West Indian potential for economic and cultural growth by high quality teaching and research aimed at meeting critical regional needs, by providing West Indian society with an active intellectual centre and by linking the West Indian community with distinguished centres of research and teaching in the Caribbean and overseas".
The Vision of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is “to be recognized as a world-class department of electrical and computer engineering”.
