The program is accredited by ABET. The CECS Department has a variety of computing equipment and laboratories available for instruction and research. These facilities are currently being enhanced, in conjunction with computing laboratories maintained by the college and by the campus. The computing facilities offer students a wealth of opportunity to access and utilize a wide range of equipment best suited for their research needs. All of the equipment is connected to departmental, college, campus, and global networks which provides ready access to the exploding world of information and computational resources. A wealth of library resources are available through the extensive collections of books and journals housed in the Engineering and Mathematical Sciences libraries as well as collections in the Main Library and Health Sciences Libraries at MU. The University of Missouri is a Research I university enrolling some 22,000 students. The University offers programs in many areas, ranging from sciences and engineering to psychology, neuroscience, education, biology, medicine, law, agriculture, and journalism.
