Accreditation Status

COMPUTER ENGINEERING ACCREDITATION

The Bachelor of Science program in Computer Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, https://www.abet.org.

Mission

The primary purpose of the Computer Engineering Program is to prepare students for a successful professional career in the field of computer engineering. The curriculum is structured to provide each student with a strong foundation in the basic sciences of chemistry, mathematics, and physics. In addition, Computer Engineering students will take courses in the following areas: electric circuits, electronics, digital logic circuits, computer organization and architecture, computer interfacing, programming languages, data structures, operating systems, software engineering, and microprocessor systems.

Program Educational Objectives

The program educational objectives of the computer engineering program are to produce graduates whose expected accomplishments within a few years of graduation are:

1. To produce graduates for successful careers in Computer Engineering and other related fields.
2. To produce graduates who engage in self-development activities through professional study and personal research that will allow them to adapt to evolving technological challenges.
3. To produce graduates who can successfully complete graduate degrees in Computer Engineering or other disciplines that they may choose.

Student Outcomes

The student outcomes that prepare graduates to attain the program educational objectives are:

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.
