Accreditation and assessment

School of Polytechnic

Education backed by experts.

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) assessment criteria are based on the principles of total quality management and continuous improvement. This assessment-accreditation process requires that each program’s mission be consistent with the institutional mission. The mission must be translated into specific program educational objectives and student outcomes that are expected as a result of the educational process. The student outcomes should be measurable, and both objectives and outcomes must be assessed regularly. The results of outcome assessments are used as feedback to make program improvements, and a quality assurance and management process is in place to achieve success.

The Computer Engineering Technology degree is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Program Educational Objectives

  1. Demonstrate the knowledge and ability to function as a member of a technical staff who can use current industrial practices and design procedures for development, implementation, and project management of computer-based software and systems or electrical/electronic(s) hardware and software
  2. Demonstrate readiness for career advancement, promotion, and mobility
  3. Demonstrate continuous learning, either on-the-job or in graduate school
  4. Demonstrate the ability to function as a contributing member of society and the profession
  5. Demonstrate effective teamwork skills and recognize ethical responsibilities

Student Outcomes
Graduates of the program will demonstrate that they have

  1. an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
  2. an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
  3. an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly defined technical and nontechnical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
  4. an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
