Accreditation
• UConn EE and CMPE programs are accredited by ABET.
• UConn EngrPhys program is relatively small and has not been submitted for accreditation yet.

ABET 2000: Basic Philosophy
• Institutions and Programs define objectives to meet the needs of their constituents
• Emphasis on outcomes -- preparation for professional practice
• Programs demonstrate how outcomes and educational objectives are being met: assessment
![Page 4: ABET Accreditation & Lifelong Learning Rajeev Bansal](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56814e95550346895dbc41c4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What are Program Educational Objectives?
• Broad statements describing what our graduates should be doing 3-5 years after graduation.
• Our alumni will:
• make technical contributions to design, development, and manufacturing in their practice of EE/computer engineering.
• Advance in their professional career.
• engage in professional development or post-graduate education to pursue flexible career paths amid future technological changes.

Lifelong Learning
“In the new economy, you graduate and you’re set for fifteen minutes. Working and learning are fast becoming the same activity.”
Don Tapscott, The Digital Economy.

Something to think about
“The illiterate person of [the future] will not be the person who has not learned how to read, but rather the person who has not learned how to learn.”
Soc. of Manufacturing Eng.

Lifelong Learning is not a new fad.
The first issue (1922) of Reader’s Digest led with an article on the importance of continuing to learn throughout one’s life.
Author: Alexander Graham Bell

Half-life of Knowledge
• 7.5 years (ME)• 5 years (EE)• 2.5 years (CMPE)
(an expert estimate from the 1980s cited by Ernest T. Smerdon, Lifelong Learning for Engineers: Riding the Whirlwind)
