  1. EE ABET Criteria 5 & 9 Assessment Committee March 24, 2010

  2. Membership • R. King, chair • D. Georgiev • A. Johnson • R. Molyet • E. Salari • T. Stuart

  3. Criteria 5 and 9 • Specify subject areas that must be in the curriculum • Are extracted from ABET 2010-2011 Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs and included in Appendix A in their entirety

  4. EE Curriculum • Both the old and new EE curricula were considered • At the next visit, there will be graduates under old curriculum, but students progressing under the new • New curriculum is summarized on Table 1 and in Appendix B

  5. Crit. 5 – one year of math and basic science • One year = 32 semester credits • 18 credits of required math • 14 credits of required chemistry and physics, including some labs • This is true in both the old and new EE curricula

  6. Crit. 5 – one and one-half year of engineering topics • Old curriculum – at least 61 credits of required engineering science/design courses (excludes orientation & electives) • New curriculum – at least 62 credits . . . • Summarized in Table 1

  7. Crit. 5 – general education component • Consistent with program and institutional objectives • Meets institutional “core curriculum” mandate, fulfilling 8 intellectual competencies • EE program requires microeconomics as one of the social science courses

  8. Crit. 5 – major design experience • Based on earlier course work • Incorporates engineering standards • and Multiple realistic constraints • Fulfilled by EECS 4000 (old), or by EECS 4010/4020 (new)

  9. Crit. 9 – breadth and depth of curriculum • Breadth: curriculum includes a wide range of topics • Depth: achieved through technical electives(12 credits under old curriculum, 9 credits under new)

  10. Crit. 9 – graduates must demonstrate knowledge in . . . • Probability and Statistics – EECS 3300 • Calculus – math sequence • Basic sciences – chemistry/physics • Computer science – EECS 1530, 2100 or 2110 • Engineering sciences – many courses

  11. Crit. 9 – graduates must demonstrate knowledge in . . . (cont.) • Hardware/software systems – EECS 3100 • Differential equations – MATH 3860 • Linear algebra – MATH 2890 • Complex variables – EECS 2300, 3460 • Discrete math – EECS 1100, 3200 or 3210 (“discrete math” is a much broader range of topics, but these are the ones of main interest to our students)

  12. Conclusion • The EE Criteria 5/9 Committee concludes that the ABET criteria 5 and 9 are adequately addressed by the EE curriculum
