Our programs in Electrical, Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering Technology are accredited by ABET:
- The Electrical Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical/Electronic(s) Engineering Technology and Similarly Named Programs.
- The Environmental Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Environmental Engineering Technology and Similarly Named Programs.
- The Mechanical Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Mechanical Engineering Technology and Similarly Named Programs.
ABET accreditation is an intensive self-assessment and continuous improvement process. By promoting educational best practices, ABET accredited programs have demonstrated their ability to provide the technical and professional skills their graduates need to succeed while also supporting the emerging workforce needs.
Employers can be confident that graduates hired from an ABET accredited program have met the requirements needed to enter their profession.

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
Electrical Engineering Technology PEOs
These Program Educational Outcomes describe the qualities and circumstances that we expect graduates of our program to embody 3-5 years after earning their degrees. The Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in Electrical Engineering Technology is founded on a well-rounded, liberal education program that will prepare graduates with the skills to succeed and adapt to change in today’s rapidly evolving workplace.
- Graduates will apply their knowledge and effective communications to collaborate on designing and improving sustainable, practical products, processes and technologies.
- Graduates will actively contribute their expertise in cross-functional teams while taking on technical and managerial leadership roles within their organizations.
- Graduates will demonstrate a strong commitment to safety, ethics, professionalism, and social responsibility throughout their careers.
- Graduates will pursue lifelong learning and continuous improvement through additional training, active membership in professional societies, and other high quality developmental endeavors.
