Accreditation - Electrical Engineering

The Electrical Engineering (B.S.) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunications(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

The Computer Engineering program is a separately-accredited concentration within the Electrical Engineering degree program.

Students declare a major in Electrical Engineering (EE) with a "concentration" in Computer Engineering (EE/CE).  The EE/CE curriculum shares many components of the EE curriculum, but has some specific differences which pertain to the field of Computer Engineering.

Each graduate is expected to have:

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.
8. A knowledge of probability, statistics, and mathematics through differential and integral calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, complex variables, and discrete mathematics.
9. A knowledge of sciences and engineering topics (including computer science) is necessary to analyze and design complex electrical and electronic devices, software, and systems containing hardware and software components.
