Student Outcomes
Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program. [ABET CAC Criteria, 2021-2022]
Student Outcomes (SOs) should be assessed every 1-2 years.
Performance Indicators (PI)
- 6.1 Apply principles of programming and software engineering to solve software development problems.
- 6.2 Analyze the performance of computing-based solutions using computer science theory and algorithms.
- 6.3 Explain the concepts and usage of various computing systems and architectures.
- 6.4 Develop a software system or solution for a real-world problem by applying computer science theory and practice.
