Electrical and Computer Engineering Accreditation

The BSCpE program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET under the General Criteria and Computer Engineering Program Criteria.

Objectives

Computer Engineering committee has established the following set of program educational objectives for the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering:

1. Illuminate: lifelong learning in computer engineering
   Alumni are expected to track state-of-the-art technology in computer engineering, to learn new processes, tools and device technologies, and to apply this knowledge in pursuit of graduate school work and/or technology careers - including but not limited to technical development, project management and technical sales.
    
2. Investigate: demonstration of computer engineering principles
   Alumni should have the ability to find and access information relevant to an application under development, be able to model various problem domains, and to apply techniques of algorithm, hardware and system design to new problem solutions as a productive technical team member.
    
3. Innovate: creative application of computer engineering principles
   Alumni should be able to apply the general principles of computer engineering to innovative real-world problem solutions that demonstrate consideration for aesthetics, economics, ergonomics, ethics, safety, and sustainability.

Learning Outcomes

Program outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These are as follows:

• An ability to identify, formulate and solve complex 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 audiences
• 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
• 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 judgment to draw conclusions
• An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

The objectives are regularly reviewed by the constituents of the department's programs, including industrial representatives, students in the program, and the faculty of the department.

The objectives are used to focus the undergraduate degree program and assure the best possible education to our students.
