Our PEOs are reviewed annually at the Advisory Board meeting with input from our constituents. Periodic alumni surveys are also conducted. The BS in Computer Science and BS in Computer Engineering PEOs were revised in fall 2006, spring 2007, spring 2011, spring 2012, fall 2018, fall 2021,fall 2024, and fall 2025. The BS in Cybersecurity PEOs were defined in fall 2018 and revised in fall 2020, fall 2021, fall 2024, and fall 2025. The BS in Information Technology PEOs were defined in summer 2014 and revised in fall 2019, fall 2021, fall 2024, and fall 2025. No changes to the PEOs were recommended during the 2022 and 2023 Advisory Board meetings. In the 2024 meeting, multiple revisions were recommended. For PEO #2 across all programs, a statement on 鈥渃ontinuing education鈥� was added. For PEO #4 in the BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Information Technology programs, 鈥減ractices鈥� was changed to 鈥渂est practices.鈥� For PEO #4 in the BS in Computer Engineering program, the phrase 鈥渂ased on sound data鈥� was added. For PEO #4 in the BS in Cybersecurity program, 鈥減rocess鈥� was changed to 鈥減rocesses.鈥� In the 2025 meeting, multiple revisions were recommended. For PEO #3 across all programs, a statement on 鈥渁dapt with agility and resilience,鈥� was added. For PEO #4 for computer science 鈥渇oundational鈥� and 鈥渟ecurity鈥� were added. For PEO #4 for cybersecurity 鈥渃omputing infrastructure鈥� was changed to 鈥渃ritical infrastructure鈥�. For PEO #4 for information technology 鈥渋nformation technology problems鈥� was changed to 鈥渃ustomer problems.鈥� Alumni survey responses have affirmed the PEOs, and no changes have been precipitated by the alumni constituent group,
