College Organization

The College of Engineering and Computer Science is organized into three major divisions: the Engineering and Computer Science Division, the Engineering Technology Division, and the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Division. The Engineering and Computer Science Division is comprised of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and three engineering departments: the Civil, Environmental, and Construction Engineering (CECE) Department, the Industrial Engineering and Management Systems (IEMS) Department, and the Mechanical, Materials and Aerospace Engineering (MMAE) Department. The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is comprised of Computer Science, Information Technology, and Electrical and Computer Engineering. The Engineering Technology Division is comprised of the Engineering Technology (ENT) Department, and the ROTC Division is made up of the Aerospace Studies Department (Air Force ROTC) and the Military Science Department (Army ROTC).

All components of the Engineering and Computer Science Division offer advanced studies leading to master’s degrees and the Doctor of Philosophy degree; see the Graduate catalog for further information on these graduate programs. The undergraduate engineering programs in Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering are fully accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), 111 Market Place #1050, Baltimore, MD 21202 4012, Telephone: 410 347 7700, Fax: 410 625 2238. ABET is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as the sole agency responsible for accreditation of educational programs leading to degrees in engineering, engineering technology, and related engineering areas. The Computer Science program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), 111 Market Place #1050, Baltimore, MD 21202 4012, Telephone: 410 347 7700, Fax: 410 625 2238.

The Engineering Technology Division and Department offers baccalaureate concentrations in Design, Geomatics, Operations and in Space Sciences, leading to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET) degree, and concentrations in Electrical Systems, Computer Systems, and in Photonics, all leading to the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology (BSEET) degree. Both the BSET and BSEET degrees, with the exception of the new Photonics concentration, are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), 111 Market Place, #1050, Baltimore, MD 21202 4012, Telephone: 410 347 7700, FAX: 410 625 2238. The Engineering Technology Department also offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Systems Technology (BS). This degree is designed for students who have completed 33 credit hours of lower level technical courses at a community college in the areas of networking, programming, information technology, computer science, computer engineering and technology or closely related disciplines.

The College houses the ROTC Division for those students desiring to pursue military training while earning their degree. The AFROTC program offers a minor in Aerospace Studies, and the AROTC program offers a minor in Military Science.
