College of Engineering reboots its system

At one point the program was so unknown that, “some faculty, at one time in the Honors program, used to refer to us as stealth engineering … because no one knew we were here.”
Since then it has exploded, and just four years since the college began, it now has 1,700 students across eight majors, six of which are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (ABET) which accredits all engineering schools.
The primary reason the other two programs, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, are not accredited, Foutz said, is that they are so young they have yet to graduate a single student, a key requirement for accreditation.

@Peruna1998 The advantages? It’s usually easier to connect with faculty in smaller programs. It’s also has a more interdisciplinary focus. It’s also nice when you get to know many of your peers and you get to take many of the same classes together as a cohort. Of course, there are also disadvantages.
