Accreditation & Assessment (EAET)
Why Should I Choose an Accredited Program?
Accreditation assures that the program meets educational standards that prepare graduates to work in STEM fields; this is a globally recognized standard of education. Accreditation is important for licensing because to sit for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam and later the Professional Engineer (PE) exam. If you would like to learn more about ABET and accreditation, please visit ABET’s website.
The Computer Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Sustainable Systems Engineering programs are newer EAET programs and are not ABET accredited, yet.
The Civil Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, and Mechanical Engineering Technology programs are all accredited through ABET.
Engineering Technology Programs Accredited by the ETAC Accreditation Commission of ABET
Data about the EAET student body
Number of Majors and Minors:
This is the number of declared majors and minors in the department. The number of declared majors and minors is take at the Fall Census date and used for the Academic Year.
Enrollment Data:
Enrollment counts all students in every EAET class session, this may result in a student being counted multiple times if they have registered in multiple classes.
Graduation Data by Program:
Graduation Data by Demographics:
Assessment
On a regular basis our EAET programs are evaluated. Below you can see what the department is doing to prepare students and what students will be able to do upon their graduation.
The Constituencies for all EAET Programs are identified as:
1) Students and Alumni, 2) EAET faculty, and 3) EAET Industrial Advisory Boards (IAB).
Program Educational Objectives for all EAET Engineering Technology Programs
The program education objectives for the Civil Engineering Technology Program have been identified as:
1. Be employed in an engineering or engineering related industry.
2. Perform engineering duties in industry with progressive responsibilities or proceed to graduate school.
3. Engage in lifelong learning and professional development by acceptance and attendance in classes or being active members in one or more professional organizations related to their field.
4. Function as a responsible member of society demonstrating professionalism in their work assignments and exhibit the following characteristics:
a. Ethics, including commitment to honesty and integrity
b. Quality performance and timeliness
c. A willingness to learn new material and train and mentor fellow employees
5. Apply their technical leadership and communication skills to practice professionally in a collaborative, team-oriented manner that embraces the multidisciplinary and multicultural environment of today’s business world.
Program Student Outcomes
The program must have documented student outcomes that support the program educational objectives. Attainment of these outcomes prepares graduates to enter the professional practice of engineering. Student outcomes are outcomes (1) through (5)
- 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;
- an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
- an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
- an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
- an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
