ABET Accredation at BAE
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs):
Within the first three to five years following graduation, Biological Engineering graduates will:
- excel in their careers by applying their engineering knowledge, critical-thinking skills,
systematic approach to problem-solving, and innovativeness in to improve biological and
agricultural systems; - be effective leaders and team players in project management;
- practice engineering professionally and ethically;
- communicate effectively in a professional environment; and
- be engaged in life-long learning and professional development.
Student Outcomes:
Upon graduation, Biological Engineering program students will demonstrate:
(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.
