The Program Educational Objectives describe our graduates’ expected accomplishments during the first few years following their graduation from the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program. In order to meet the CSE Program Educational Objectives, our graduates:

1.  Attain a productive and challenging career in the computer science and engineering industry, government, academia, and is able to work collaboratively with peers;

2.  Solve complex computing and engineering problems by applying principles of computing and engineering and other professional skills and foundation;

3.  Are aware of societal aspects, ethical issues, and professional responsibility in computing and engineering practice, and have the ability to make informed judgement by applying ethical and legal principles;

4.  Are proficient in designing, developing, and assessing innovative systems and solutions that satisfy the computing and engineering requirements using hardware and software integration;

5.  Promote the product and services produced by computing and engineering needs through effective communication and teamwork;

6.  Continue to learn, and adapt to technological and cultural change.

The following ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission Student Learning Outcomes describe the skills and knowledge acquired by CSE graduates:

• An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex 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.
• 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.
• 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 to draw conclusions   
• An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

The following ABET Computing Accreditation Commission Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) describe the skills and knowledge acquired by CSE graduates:

• Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
• Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.
• Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
• Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
• Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
• Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.
