Vision and Mission
Vision
The Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering majors at Western New England University will become nationally recognized for graduating students that have experienced putting theory into practice and are also capable of succeeding in advanced studies.
Mission
The mission of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering majors is to provide students with a supportive environment that facilitates learning to solve problems in electrical and computer engineering. The Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering majors are committed to excellence in student learning. Graduates of the majors will be problem solvers, able to apply engineering principles to electrical and computer systems. The faculty and staff of both majors use their background in teaching, research, and industry to prepare students to be successful as they move into the workforce or graduate school.
Accreditation
Programs leading to BS in Electrical Engineering and BS in Computer Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
