Accreditation

All Florida International University programs are approved by the Florida Board of Education, the FIU Board of Trustees and the Florida Board of Governors. FIU is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees.

ABET Accreditation

Accreditation of engineering programs ensures that the programs produce graduates who are prepared to meet the expectations of employers, the public or pursue further study in engineering or other fields.

  • BS in Computer Engineering

    The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Computer Engineering.

    Program Educational Objectives

    Our principal goal is to produce graduates who will become successful engineers in an extensive range of endeavors. The Computer Engineering Educational Objectives are:

    • That our graduates are employed and have career advancement as Computer engineers, or in another profession using their engineering skills,
    • That our graduates stay current in their field of expertise,
    • That our graduates attain supervisory/leadership positions in their respective organizations.

    Student Outcomes

    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 and inclusive 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.
