ABET Accreditation
ABET Accreditation
The Bachelor of Electrical Engineering and Bachelor of Computer Engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) Program Criteria.
Mission
The mission of the ECE Department in undergraduate education is to graduate electrical and computer engineers who have been well educated in the basics and also given the opportunity to experience realistic laboratory research and design problems. With this broad background they can be expected to enjoy successful careers in industry, government or academia. Our graduates will be well prepared to pursue graduate studies, should they choose.
Electrical Engineering
The electrical engineering degree has three Program Educational Objectives:
- Graduates who choose to follow a career path in industry or government will become productive and valued engineers within their companies.
- Graduates who choose to obtain an advanced degree in engineering will be successful in obtaining their desired degree.
- Graduates will have the professional skills required to advance into leadership positions within their chosen careers.
- Graduates will practice engineering at high ethical and technical standards, and engage with their professional disciplines, organizations, and communities with full appreciation of ethical and societal responsibilities.
The successful graduate of the ELEG Program must demonstrate:
- An ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiencesAn ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
