Computer Engineering ABET Goals
Educational Objectives:
The objectives of the Computer Engineering Program are to produce engineers who:
- Are highly competent in the basics of computer engineering including mathematics, physical insight, hardware and software.
- Pursue distinctive multidisciplinary scientific and technical careers beginning with either entry-level computer engineering positions in industry or graduate study in computer engineering and related fields.
- Participate on multidisciplinary teams that cooperate in applying problem-solving skills and critical and independent thinking to a broad range of projects that can produce the technical innovations aimed at satisfying the future needs of society.
- Adopt the scientific method as a cornerstone of their lifelong liberal education and use their broad understanding of human institutions, achievements, and values to achieve leadership in their chosen fields of endeavor.
These objectives address the expected accomplishments of program graduates, primarily in the time period of several years following graduation. Objective 1 indicates the immediate goal for the curriculum. Objective 2 aims at gainful employment and further education, both of which are of service to society and consistent with the Division's mission of pursuing engineering in order to solve human needs. Objective 3 broadens this scope to reflect the range of activities that successful working engineers should encounter as their careers progress and emphasizes the team-oriented nature of the engineering profession. Objective 4 emphasizes the adaptability and continuing intellectual growth of an engineer working at the highest levels of achievement over a longer term.
