Graduate School Accreditation

The Graduate School at the University of Maine is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education – NECHE.   The Electrical and Computer Engineering graduate programs contribute to this accreditation through its ECE Graduate Program Learning Outcomes.

External Review

The ECE Department has an external advisory board to ensure that the programs remain responsive to its constituencies.  These representatives are brought together annually to review the program’s mission statement and objectives, and to make recommendations for improvement of the program.  They suggest changes to the department mission, objectives, and assessment procedures.
