Electrical and Computer Engineering Program Accreditation


Electrical Engineering

The University of Dayton's undergraduate program in electrical engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Program Educational Objectives

The electrical engineering program prepares professionals who will:

  • Find rewarding careers as engineering professionals. As electrical engineers, they will design and develop new products, technologies and processes that incorporate one or more of the following elements: analog and digital circuits; signals and systems; propagation and processing of signals; and control systems.
  • Continue their professional education either formally, in graduate school, professional schools, or through industrial training programs; or informally through activities such as continuing education, attendance in short courses, professional workshops and conferences.
  • Exercise and further develop their skills in professional communication through activities such as project briefings, conference presentations, technical reports and manuals, and journal publications.
  • Participate in activities for the betterment of society and carry on the traditions of the University of Dayton, by maintaining high ethical standards in their professional activities, and by serving their country and community through service, leadership and mentoring.

Student Outcomes

At the time of graduation, electrical engineering students will have:

  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 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.

Computer Engineering

The University of Dayton's undergraduate program in computer engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Program Educational Objectives

The computer engineering program prepares professionals who will:

  • Find rewarding careers as engineering professionals. As computer engineers, they will design and develop new products, technologies and processes that incorporate one or more of the following elements: analog and digital circuits, signals and systems, computer design, software development, and hardware/software integration.
  • Continue their professional education either formally, in graduate school, professional schools, or through industrial training programs; or informally through activities such as continuing education, attendance in short courses, professional workshops and conferences.
  • Exercise and further develop their skills in professional communication through activities such as project briefings, conference presentations, technical reports and manuals, and journal publications.
