Accreditation
The Human-Centered Engineering program is being designed to meet the standards of ABET, the main body for accreditation of engineering programs in the United States.
An engineering program cannot apply for ABET accreditation until after it has graduated its first class. With that in mind, we expect to apply for ABET accreditation in the year following the graduation of the Class of 2025. ABET accreditation will be applied retroactively to the previous years’ classes.
Students will have a deep appreciation for the ways their actions impact human society and the environment at large.
Students will be able to apply a breadth and depth of appropriate engineering sciences knowledge, skills, and techniques from different fields to solve complex engineering problems.
Students will apply their skills and knowledge through creative problem solving.
Students will have an appreciation for engineering as an inherently human endeavor, and will take a human-centered approach as engineers.
Students will be lifelong learners who have the ability and confidence to acquire new skills and knowledge, using technologies yet to be developed, in order to address problems yet to be identified.
Students will work fluently as active contributors in multidisciplinary teams to identify and implement engineering solutions nested within complex problems.
Students will be able to effectively translate their ideas through written, oral, visual, and other forms of communication.
Students will be entrepreneurially-minded and will have the confidence and competence to realize ideas.
