Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering supports the mission of the University through its undergraduate programs by providing students with appropriate curricula and educational experiences. The curricula remain current through continuing assessment by employers, alumni, faculty and students.
The professions of electrical and computer engineering combine the principles of the electrical and physical sciences, using mathematics as a common language, to develop a body of knowledge and techniques for the solutions to important problems in modern technological society. The main objectives of the programs are to provide our graduates with a firm education in the fundamentals, to teach them to think analytically, and -- most important of all -- to help them learn how to learn. An important contribution to accomplishing these goals is our five-course sequence of stand-alone project laboratory courses, which give students considerable experience working closely with others in real-world situations to solve open-ended design problems.
The result of the overall curriculum is to prepare graduates who are sensitive to the consequences of their work, both ethically and professionally, for productive professional careers. A broad educational background has been incorporated into this curriculum, and personalized advising plays an important role in its implementation.
The B.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and in Computer Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 - telephone: (410) 347-7700.”
