Electrical Engineering

The EE and CE Programs are accredited by ABET. We have a continuous improvement process in place within the Department to ensure compliance with ABET requirements. This process is overseen by a faculty committee (Assessment and Accreditation Committee) comprised of Professors Amit K. Roy-Chowdhury (Chair), G. Beni, A. Korotkov and D. Xu with staff support. We regularly collect precise, quantitative metrics for all our courses to ensure that the program outcomes and educational objectives are met. In addition, we collect regular inputs from the Industrial Advisory Board, students, faculty and alumni to continuously evaluate, update and improve the objectives. Currently, the EE Department has adopted the following Program Educational Objectives.
