The Software Engineering undergraduate degree program will request an evaluation by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET once the degree program yields a cohort of graduates.
Accreditation by ABET is an assurance that the program meets the quality standards of the profession for which it prepares graduates. These standards include objectives and outcomes defined by the faculty with input from the department and program’s industrial advisory boards and from alumni.
