Therefore, combiningboth SACS and ABET criteria into a unified assessment process is not a trivial task but can havetremendous advantage to any engineering program. To this end, the eleven ABET outcomeswere used as performance indicators for the six SACS defined student learning outcomes. TheseSLOs identify the skills categories that Electrical Engineering
