Undergraduate Electrical and Computer Engineering Accreditation

Electrical Engineering Accreditation 

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical Engineering.

Electrical Engineering Program Objectives

The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department seeks to develop an educational program for students in Electrical Engineering such that following completion of the degree and once well established in their careers,

1) Graduates will be employed in the engineering industry, government agencies, or academia and will be engaged in addressing and helping solve complex and technically challenging problems that impact society.

2) Graduates will continuously enhance their careers through life-long learning, active involvement in the development of their skills, and will dedicate themselves to positively contribute to their communities by practicing their profession ethically.

3) Graduates will be skillful communicators, expressing their technical and non-technical ideas through various media to a wide range of audiences, while promoting the power of engineering to collaboratively help solve some of the more vexing challenges faced by civilization with a goal of achieving a more equitable and diverse society.

Electrical Engineering Student Learning Outcomes

Graduates of the Electrical Engineering program are expected to achieve the following student learning outcomes.

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"

7.   "an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies."

Recommended Program of Study

The ECE department offers courses to facilitate the completion of the degree program in four years. For more information, see the Four Year Degree Roadmap.
