ABET Accreditation

The Computer Science program is a high-quality program focused on education and research. The program is a STEM-education-based program that yields highly skilled graduates who have strong knowledge in the fundamentals of Computer Science and who are able to apply that knowledge to design and implement solutions for arising problems. The program prepares students for clear and concise communication when working in a team environment and for careers in industry, government, and academia. 

• Graduates demonstrate growth in professional development through graduate study or professional training. 

• Graduates demonstrate effective team work as members and leaders in professional environments. 

• Graduates demonstrate employability in industry, government, and entrepreneurial endeavors. 

Student Outcomes 

Upon completion of the program, students are expected to demonstrate the following outcomes: 

1. Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.

2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.

3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.

4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.

5. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.

6. Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.

Program Educational Objectives 

Consistent with the stated mission of the Florida Polytechnic University, the mission of the Computer Engineering program is to prepare its graduates for a rapidly changing engineering field. The faculty of the Computer Engineering program strives to educate and train students in a technically sound and challenging manner to produce highly sought-after graduates. Graduates are expected to attain the following within a few years of graduation: 

• Demonstrate competency in developing solutions in a specialized area of electrical and/or computer engineering either individually or through interdisciplinary teams. 

• Demonstrate success in technical or business activities through engineering ability, communication, professional and ethical skills, and knowledge. 

• Be distinguished high-in-demand engineering professionals as innovators and entrepreneurs. 

• Demonstrate professional growth through post-graduate education, continuing education, or professional activity. 

Student Outcomes 

Graduates of the Computer Engineering program will demonstrate the following:

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.

Program Educational Objectives 

The program is committed to providing innovative teaching, research and service and prepare graduates as problem solvers, creative thinkers and researchers with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics background focused on the core of electrical engineering. Graduates are expected to be prepared with a solid and competitive foundation focusing on the state-of–the art advances in the specialized concentration area. 

Graduates are expected to be known for their accomplishments and attain the following within a few years of graduation:
