National accreditation for computer engineering programs
The Computer Engineering Technician and Computer Engineering Technology programs at Fleming College formally received national accreditation from the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board on Friday, April 29.
Jim Drennan, Dean of the School of Business, Computing and Hospitality, Program Coordinator Ron Walker, and several faculty members were on-hand for the presentation of the accreditation certificates, which took place as part of the annual general meeting of the Peterborough Chapter of the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT).
National accreditation ensures students receive an approved course of study and ensures graduates are certified by OACETT (or equivalent body in other provinces). The accreditation is also recognized outside of Canada through international agreements.
OACETT arranged for a team of examiners for each of the two programs and provided coordination of the accreditation process. The teams looked at curriculum, facilities, student work, and faculty and college policies and procedures to measure the programs’ ability to meet or exceed accreditation benchmarks.
