Educational Philosophy
The educational philosophy of the
University includes an absolute commitment to
academic excellence, programs available to both
full-time and working adult students, effective
business practices, and teaching methods and
environments conducive to the development of
devoted graduates enriched with critical
thinking skills.
Northwestern Polytechnic University strives to
meet the need of professionals in the
high-technology fields by providing learning
opportunities in the following areas:
-
Electrical Engineering
-
Computer Systems Engineering
-

-
Business Management
-

Because Silicon Valley
continually demands a multitude of electronics,
computer, and business professionals, NPU aims
to prepare individuals to achieve the
proficiency necessary for quality work in the
high-technology industry. Silicon Valley most
pressing needs are for hardware and software
design engineers, software application
specialists, networking experts, managers
trained in the applications of computers to
business, and business personnel familiar with
entrepreneurship and venture business
management. While training students to meet
these needs quickly, NPU's emphasis is on
quality and integrity in the education.
NPU provides a unique
educational culture and learning environment for
students because NPU has been able to attract a
strong pool of talented individuals from Silicon
Valley to teach, conduct research, and provide
student services. The abundance of talent and
technical resources in Silicon Valley has also
provided NPU with a unique student body. A
significant percentage of the student population
already works in high tech industries, which
makes the teaching and learning even more
interesting.
NPU intends to continue to keep abreast of the
fast-paced changes in the high tech industries
and at the same time to provide students with a
rigorous educational experience.
