Accreditation

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (https://www.abet.org).

Program Educational Objectives of the engineering physics program are to prepare graduates such that within a few years of graduation they have:

• Established an engineering or scientific career in the global marketplace, and /or
• Begun pursuing graduate studies in engineering, physics, or another professional field

To meet these educational objectives, students in the program will attain:

• an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex scientific and engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
• 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 
• an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences both technical and non-technical.
• an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering and scientific situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering and scientific solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts  
• an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
• an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment and scientific principles to draw conclusions
• an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

Does not include second majors enrolled in other colleges.
