B.S.E. Interdisciplinary Engineering Program is accredited by the Engineering 认证 Commission of 教唆, http://www.AThe BET.org.  See the program objectives, student outcomes and enrollment history below. 

Program Educational Objectives:

Graduates of the Interdisciplinary Engineering program are expected within a few years of graduation to:

• Demonstrate technical competency in their careers
• Function effectively in an industrial or academic environment
• Engage in professional development
• Shape their professions and societies

Note:  During the 2021-2022 academic year, Grand Valley State University revised the the university mission, 愿景, and value statements to align with the updated strategic plan. To ensure alignment with the university's mission, 愿景 and value statements, which were approved by the Board of Trustees, the Padnos College of Engineering and School of Engineering's mission, 愿景, and value statements will be reviewed and updated, and the constituent review process for the School of Engineering Program Educational Objectives will take place, with updates in accordance with the feedback received.

Feedback regarding the Interdisciplinary Engineering program educational objectives is received from four primary constituencies:

• Students enrolled in the program;
• The employer base for the graduates and cooperative education students;
• The alumni of the program; and,
• The engineering faculty and administration

In addition to the four primary constituencies, the following external stakeholders are heavily involved in the success of the School of Engineering programs.

• The West 密歇根 community, in which the majority of our co-op students and graduates practice and contribute both professionally and personally;

• The State of 密歇根
