Accreditation

The Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, Inc. - https://www.abet.org/ accredits engineering programs on a nationwide basis. ABET accreditation provides assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards established by the profession for which the program prepares its students.

Bachelor of Science in Computing Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has started new online delivery paths for Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering degrees. ABET has confirmed that although these programs are not among those listed as 100% online accredited programs at https://www.abet.org/, the accreditation for those programs is covered by the existing accreditation for Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering. The 100% online pathways will be formally reviewed as part of reaccreditation during our next general review in 2022-23.

All academic programs of Florida International University are approved by the Florida Board of Education, the FIU Board of Trustees and the Florida Board of Governors. The university is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral degrees.

Program Educational Objectives for Computer Engineering

Our principal goal is to produce graduates who will become successful engineers in an extensive range of endeavors. The Computer Engineering Educational Objectives are:

  • That our graduates are employed and have career advancement as Computer engineers, or in another profession using their engineering skills,

  • That our graduates stay current in their field of expertise,

  • That our graduates attain supervisory/leadership positions in their respective organizations.

Student Outcomes for Computer Engineering

  1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by
    applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
  2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified
    needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global,
    cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
  3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering
    situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of
    engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
  5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide
    leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals,
    plan tasks, and meet objectives.
  6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and
    interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
  7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate
    learning strategies.
