The Mission and Goals of CIE
Cleveland Institute of Electronics (CIE) is a privately owned
co-educational technical college located in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Institute has served an international student body since 1934. CIE's
principal mission is educating individuals in technical skills through distance
education, without regard to race, sex, handicap, creed, national origin, or
age.
CIE prepares its students to become the skilled technicians and engineering
technologists who will solve electronic engineering and computer technology
problems. In order to accomplish these goals, the college offers three associate
degrees and various diplomas and certificates in electronics and computer
technology.
The CIE faculty, staff, and administration are committed to students who can
substitute and/or enhance the traditional college classroom with distance education. This method of instruction allows the individual student to
obtain an education while maintaining family commitments and present employment
or business activities.
Some of the unique students CIE serves include those in the military, those
being rehabilitated, and those in areas of the world where the access to
classroom education involves an inordinate amount of travel. CIE seeks to raise
the level of productivity of our students, enhance their employment
opportunities, and retrain those whose skills have become obsolete.
