The Electrical and Computer Engineering program is currently seeking ABET
accreditation. Until the program is accredited, graduates are not eligible to receive
maximum education/experience credits as a “professional engineering program”
towards New York State licensure in professional engineering. ABET does not allow
programs to apply for accreditation until they have graduated at least one student.
ABET does allow the accreditation to cover students who graduated in the year before
the accreditation is granted. See www.abet.org/new_program.shtml for more information
about the ABET accreditation process.
