Accreditation - Electrical Engineering

Undergraduate Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes

The  bachelor of science in electrical engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org/.

Program Educational Objectives

The educational objectives of the bachelor of science in electrical engineering program are to produce graduates who, within a few years of graduation, will:

1. Demonstrate professional advancement as productive practicing engineers who continuously develop their technical expertise, as demanded by the rapidly changing technologies
2. Attain enhanced and broadened knowledge via graduate education in either engineering or other fields such as sciences, mathematics, business, medicine and law

Student Outcomes

The student who completes the electrical engineering program or the computer engineering program will have attained the following:

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. 
2. 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. 
3.  an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. 
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. 
5. 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. 
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
