欢迎来到工程学院

The 工程学院 provides unique educational opportunities for 学生 interested in engineering concepts and their practical application at both the undergraduate and masters levels. Our mission is to prepare 学生 to assume engineering positions in industry with the potential to advance to leadership positions. 所有的本科课程都是由 教唆.

All of our programs feature hands-on approaches to learning the dynamic discipline of engineering. All undergraduate majors participate in a three-semester co-op program where the student gains a year of full-time, 行业带薪经验. Almost two-thirds of our courses have laboratory components and many include industry-sponsored projects. The bachelor’s degree programs culminate in interdisciplinary team-based projects, 这些都是, 主要参加.

Our graduate programs are flexible and designed to deepen your expertise, 为工作的专业人士提供机会, 而学生寻求的是更传统的, 全职研究经验. Engineering is a profession whose practitioners have values embodied in a creed and code of ethics.

工程学院标志着专业认证里程碑

The 工程学院 marked a major accreditation milestone, achieving reaccreditation of its baccalaureate programs in Computer, 电, 跨学科, 机械, and Product Design and Manufacturing Engineering and an initial accreditation for its new 生物medical Engineering program.  The 2022 accreditation decision received by the Engineering 认证 Commission (EAC) of the 认证 Board for Engineering and Technology (教唆) states that all six undergraduate programs are accredited until September 30, 2029, with the 生物medical Engineering accreditation action retroactively extending from October 1, 2020, which coincides with the first cohort of 学生 to graduate from the program.

For undergraduate engineering programs to earn initial accreditation or maintain existing accreditation, a program accreditation request must be followed with the development of detailed self-study reports and a rigorous and comprehensive on-campus accreditation visit by the 教唆 team, 它是由大学和企业志愿者组成的. The on-campus visit includes an exhaustive review of the program's curriculum, 流程(入学, 博天堂官方, 评估, 组成的反馈, 学生建议, 持续改进, 和职业安置), 教员/员工凭据, 专业发展, 设施, 还有打分的学生作业样本.  The student learning outcome feedback and 持续改进 loop is critical, and programs must provide written evidence that all constituents (教师, 工作人员, 学生, 雇主, and industry partners) are instrumental to the overall process.  Programs must provide written evidence of student learning outcome attainment at the demonstrated mastery or proficiency achievement level. 访问期间, the external accreditation team conducts interviews with administration, 教师, 学生, 支持单位, 以及大学级别的管理, 包括校长和教务长.

The 工程学院 recognizes the comprehensive efforts of the entire 教师 and 工作人员 in this momentous accreditation achievement and specifically acknowledges the efforts of the founding dean of the 帕德诺斯工程与计算机学院, Dr. Paul Plotkowski, for his lifetime legacy of building a community-engaged college.  另外, the 工程学院 recognizes the efforts of the non-academic 支持单位, 尤其是就业中心, 这对该计划的持续成功至关重要, and joint collaborative efforts among other campus units (university 评估/accreditation, 电子学习技术, and Blackboard/Anthology) for the development of an accreditation tool that provides granular 评估 data and feedback and generates disaggregatged program reports that are critical to the external accreditation process. 

A program’s accreditation action is based upon the findings summarized in the final statement, and the actions depend on the program’s range of compliance with the accreditation board’s criteria. The strength of compliance range can be construed from stated deficiencies, 弱点, 担忧, 和观察. The final statement for all six engineering undergraduate engineering programs indicates that all accreditation criteria, 政策, 程序是满意的, with no strength of compliance issues noted within the 工程学院 that would impact or compromise the quality of the program.

教唆 accreditation provides evidence that the 工程学院 programs have met standards essential to produce graduates that are ready to enter the engineering profession, and that graduates from the program have a solid educational foundation, 让他们成为工程创新的领导者, 新兴技术, 以及公共安全/福利需求.
