ACCREDITATION INFORMATION
The Systems Engineering degree is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
To ensure the success of our graduates, we prepare them to achieve the following program educational objectives within a few years of entering commissioned service with the U.S. Air Force:
Program Educational Objectives
- Recognition as successful Air Force officers through demonstration of their ability to:
- Rapidly acquire required knowledge
- Lead others effectively
- Effectively apply ethical and moral standards
- Improve unit performance by application of organizational skills
- Make sound decisions based on critical thinking
- Communicate effectively
- Selection for career training on or ahead of schedule and for a progression of assignments of increasing responsibility
- A demonstrated ability to solve Air Force technical problems
- Success in continuing education
Student Outcomes
These objectives are assessed through student outcomes—the skills, knowledge and behaviors students should acquire before graduation. The outcomes for this program are:
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- 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
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- 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
- 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
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
