ABET Accreditation
During the upcoming academic year, 2009-2010, the departments of Civil & Environmental, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering will prepare for their ABET accreditation.
ABET is the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. Accreditation Assures Quality. In the United States, accreditation is a non-governmental, peer-review process that assures the quality of the postsecondary education students receive. Educational institutions or programs volunteer to undergo this review periodically to determine if certain criteria are being met. ABET history, facts, mission, and additional information may be found on the ABET website.
