EET Accreditation

Eastern Michigan University's Electrical Engineering Technology program is currently seeking accreditation by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Data on annual student enrollment and degrees awarded can be viewed by clicking on the following link: annual enrollment and degrees awarded annually.

Program Education Objectives

Program Educational Objectives (PEO) describe the attributes that we aspire for our graduates to possess three to five years after graduation. The BS degree program in Electronic Engineering Technology will prepare graduates with the technical and managerial skills necessary to enter careers in analysis, applied design, development, implementation, or oversight of advanced mechanical systems and processes.

Program Education Outcomes

The educational objectives of the Electronics Engineering Technology program are:

  • PEO1.  PEO 1 Graduates of the EET program will exhibit viable critical thinking aptitude identified with electronic engineering technology problems
  • PEO2.  Graduates of the EET program will procure the expertise and information to effectively gain employment.
  • PEO3.  Graduates of the EET program will have the skills to communicate effectively, participate in teams, and exhibit ethical behavior.
  • PEO4.  Graduates of the EET program will learn to adjust to the changes in industry.

Student Outcomes

The EET Student Outcomes (SO) capture the desired attributes that the EET program at the School of Engineering Technology aspires to impart to its students through the curriculum and academic experience.

  • An ability to select and apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of their disciplines to broadly-defined engineering technology activities.
  • An ability to select and apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to engineering technology problems that require the application of principles and applied procedures or methodologies.
  • An ability to conduct standard tests and measurements; to conduct, analyze, and experimental results to improve processes.
  • An ability to design systems, components, or processes for broadly-defined engineering technology problems appropriate to program educational objectives.
  • An ability to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team.
  • An ability to identify, analyze, and solve broadly-defined engineering technology problems.
  • An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
  • An understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development.
  • An understanding of and a commitment to address professional and ethical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity.
  • A knowledge of the impact of engineering technology solutions in a societal and global context.
  • A commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement.

Revised Student Outcomes

(Per ABET ETAC 2019-2020 Criteria - pending the discussion and approval of EET Industry Advisory Board - planned late Fall 2020.)

  • (SO1) An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
  • (SO2) An ability to design systems, components or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
  • (SO3) An ability to apply written, oral and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
  • (SO4) An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.
  • (SO5) An ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
