Background and Overview<br />

1.1 Degree Title<br />

The Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology (E<strong>CET</strong>) at <strong>Indiana</strong><br />

<strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> (ISU) requests accreditation for the degree program of Bachelor of Science<br />

in Computer Engineering Technology (<strong>CET</strong>). The program offers rigorous education that<br />

prepares students for various computer engineering technology careers. The curriculum is<br />

structured to provide proficiencies in fundamental technical subjects and experiences that<br />

fuse life-long learning with professional ethics.<br />

The <strong>CET</strong> program is, and has been accredited by Association of Technology, Management,<br />

and Applied Engineering (ATMAE), formerly National Association of Industrial<br />

Technology (NAIT).<br />

1.2 Program Mode and Curriculum Overview<br />

Computer Engineering Technology is a day program designed for on campus full-time<br />

students. The program is offered on a semester basis: one 50-minute lecture or one 100-<br />

minute lab session per week in a sixteen-week semester constitutes one-credit.<br />

The <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s academic year consists of Fall, Spring and Summer sessions.<br />

During Summer no <strong>CET</strong> courses are normally offered, but students may take Foundational<br />

Studies courses. Students are encouraged to participate in co-operative education,<br />

summer internships and summer professional experiences.<br />

The 2011-12 curriculum is attached in Figure I.1 to give the reviewers a brief overview<br />

of the <strong>CET</strong> program. The educational objectives and student outcomes are implemented<br />

through this curriculum. Also in Appendix M we have included the latest <strong>CET</strong> program<br />
