ABET Electrical & Computer Engineering Technology

The New Jersey Institute of Technology Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology Program (B.S. Engineering Technology) is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Electrical/Electronic(s) Engineering Technology, Computer Engineering Technology, and Similarly Named Programs. 

ECET Program Educational Objectives 

The undergraduate Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) Program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technology. ECET has the following Program Educational Objectives: 

1. Our graduates will establish productive careers in technology-based organizations in such diverse positions as design, manufacturing, teaching, management, system engineering, application engineering and technical sales. 
2. Our graduates will participate in lifelong learning activities including graduate school and other professional education.

ECET Student Outcomes 

Students from the ECET Program will attain (by the time of graduation): 

1. 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; 
2. An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline; 
3. 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; 
4. An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and 
5. An ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.

ECET Program Criteria 

The following are the ECET Program Criteria: 

1. the application of circuit analysis and design, computer programming, associated software, analog and digital electronics, and microcomputers, and engineering standards to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic(s) systems; and 
2. the application of natural sciences and mathematics at or above the level of algebra and trigonometry to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic systems. 
3. the ability to analyze, design, and implement one or more of the following: control systems, instrumentation systems, communications systems, computer systems, or power systems; 
4. the ability to apply project management techniques to electrical/electronic(s) systems; and 
5. the ability to utilize differential and integral calculus, as a minimum, to characterize the performance of electrical/electronic systems. 
6. the application of electric circuits, computer programming, associated software applications, analog and digital electronics, microcomputers, operating systems, local area networks, and engineering standards to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of computer systems and associated software systems; and 
7. the application of natural sciences and mathematics at or above the level of algebra and trigonometry to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of computer systems and associated software systems. 
8. the ability to analyze, design, and implement hardware and software computer systems; 
9. the ability to apply project management techniques to computer systems; and 
10. the ability to utilize statistics/probability, transform methods, discrete mathematics, or applied differential equations in support of computer systems and networks.
