ABET Accredation at BAE

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs):

Within the first three to five years following graduation, Biological Engineering graduates will:

  1. 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;
  2. be effective leaders and team players in project management;
  3. practice engineering professionally and ethically;
  4. communicate effectively in a professional environment; and
  5. 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.
