Engineering programs accredited

The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board—Engineers Canada (CEAB) is giving UVic’s Faculty of Engineering the maximum length of accreditation for all of its engineering programs. The CEAB has accredited programs in computer engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering for six years. Software engineering has also been accredited for three years, and three more pending a satisfactory progress report in June 2012. “This is just about the best possible outcome,” says Engineering Dean Tom Tiedje. “This positive result is a vote of confidence in our academic programs and a credit to the many people who worked very hard to make this happen.” More info
