[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WM would be smart to take the simple easy step of adding an ABET accreditable BS Computer Engineering degree.

Within the world of ABET, BSCompE has a lot of course overlap with BSCompSci.  WM already has a solid CS program, although it focuses more on software than on computing systems.

The main missing piece for the BS CompE would be logic programming (for an FPGA/ASIC using VHDL/Verilog), which could be handled by hiring maybe 1-2 junior tenure-track faculty members.  Either Altera or Xilinx would happily provide needed FPGA development boards to a teaching lab — at a deep discount.  The necessary basic electric circuits courses could be taught by Physics faculty, at least initially.  Engineering Economics could be taught by Economics faculty.  WM has most of the pieces to do this already in hand.

If they one major abet accredited I can't think of why they would stop there within the new school of computing and data and physics [/quote]
