Universidad del Norte is committed to provide high quality education to all students and to foster a culture of continuous improvement. Consistently, The College of Engineering has worked to demonstrate this quality through accreditations, both national and international.
The College includes six undergraduate programs: Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Systems Engineering.

All these programs are accredited by EAC (Engineering Accreditation Commission) of ABET (Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology, www.abet.org).
All programs were initially accredited in 2009 and reaccredited in 2015.

About ABET

ABET accreditation model is based on continuous improvement processes. All programs must demonstrate that the graduates achieve a particular set of Student Outcomes by the time of graduation. These outcomes are abilities that students develop throughout their program. Additionally, there are Program Educational Objectives, achievements that alumni are expected to attain a few years after their graduation.

ABET requires each program to publish information regarding the Program Educational Objectives, Student Outcomes, accreditation status, and data on student enrollment and degrees awarded.

Program Educational Objectives

  • Demonstrate succesful performance in the Civil Engineering profession.
  • Pursue advanced studies in terms of graduate programs, professional certificates, and short courses to adapt to the needs and requirements of contemporary development of the Civil Engineering profession.

Student Outcomes

Graduates are expetected to be able to demonstrate:

  1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
  2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
  3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
  5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
  6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
  7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
