The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) is an autonomous organization that certifies the quality of engineering education programs through its accreditation activities. It provides direction on best practices in engineering and technology education, and evaluates how effective engineering programs are at meeting the needs of graduates and potential employers.

Program Educational Outcomes (PEO)

PEO-1: Graduates will have successful careers in Materials Science and Engineering or related disciplines.

PEO-2: Graduates will successfully participate in continuing education or education towards advanced degrees.

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.
