\u00a0\u201cBy the grace of God, we were able to receive accreditation upon our first entry,\u201d said Professor of Physics and Engineering Dr. George Quainoo. \u201cNot only that, but we also received the full six years of accreditation and two retroactive years on top of that. This is the gold standard of engineering accreditation, and we are grateful for the expanded opportunities it offers our recent graduates and current and incoming students. Credit to the hard work and dedication of the Physics and Engineering (PHEN) department, especially Dr. Libin Babu, who led the accreditation process.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
