Accreditation
Engineering Accreditation Commission
The Bachelor of Science and Honors Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical and Computer Engineering and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
Program Educational Objectives
The Electrical and Computer Engineering undergraduate program has the following Program Educational Objectives:
Be able to develop the advanced skills they need to be successful in professional employment or post graduate education;
Continue to learn and adapt to a changing world; and
Incorporate ethical and inclusive principles that foster collaborative environments.
Student Outcomes
The ECE program has the following seven Student Outcomes that correspond to the recommended EAC-wide Student Outcomes. These Student Outcomes describe the knowledge and capabilities expected of each ECE graduate. Each Student Outcome addresses one or more of the Program Educational Objectives described above.
Graduates of the program will have the ability to:
Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
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.
Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
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.
Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
