ABET Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology What Is ABET Accreditation? ABET accreditation is not a ranking system; rather, it is a form of quality assurance, declaring to the relevant professional community and to the world at large, that a program meets the quality standards set by the technical profession. ABET accreditation applies to programs only, not degrees, departments, colleges, institutions, or individuals. ABET is a federation of member professional and technical societies. These societies and their individual members collaborate through ABET to develop quality standards, known as ABET Criteria, on which ABET review teams base their evaluations of applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology programs. http://www.abet.org/eac-criteria-2014-2015/ Steve Duke, March 2014

ABET Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology GENERAL CRITERIA FOR BACCALAUREATE LEVEL PROGRAMS General Criterion 1. Students General Criterion 2. Program Educational Objectives General Criterion 3. Student Outcomes General Criterion 4. Continuous Improvement General Criterion 5. Curriculum General Criterion 6. Faculty General Criterion 7. Facilities General Criterion 8. Institutional Support PROGRAM CRITERIA one for each specific program chemical, civil, mechanical, electrical, etc. http://www.abet.org/eac-criteria-2014-2015/

ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, 2014 - 2015 General Criterion 3. Student Outcomes The program must have documented student outcomes that prepare graduates to attain the program educational objectives. Student outcomes are outcomes (a) through (k) plus any additional outcomes that may be articulated by the program. (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability (d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (g) an ability to communicate effectively (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context (i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues (k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. http://www.abet.org/eac-criteria-2014-2015/

ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, 2014 - 2015 General Criterion 4. Continuous Improvement The program must regularly use appropriate, documented processes for assessing and evaluating the extent to which the student outcomes are being attained. The results of these evaluations must be systematically utilized as input for the continuous improvement of the program. Other available information may also be used to assist in the continuous improvement of the program. http://www.abet.org/eac-criteria-2014-2015/

ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, 2014 - 2015 General Criterion 5. Curriculum The curriculum requirements specify subject areas appropriate to engineering but do not prescribe specific courses. The faculty must ensure that the program curriculum devotes adequate attention and time to each component, consistent with the outcomes and objectives of the program and institution. The professional component must include: (a) one year of a combination of college level mathematics and basic sciences (some with experimental experience) appropriate to the discipline. Basic sciences are defined as biological, chemical, and physical sciences. (b) one and one-half years of engineering topics, consisting of engineering sciences and engineering design appropriate to the student's field of study. The engineering sciences have their roots in mathematics and basic sciences but carry knowledge further toward creative application. These studies provide a bridge between mathematics and basic sciences on the one hand and engineering practice on the other. Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet these stated needs. (c) a general education component that complements the technical content of the curriculum and is consistent with the program and institution objectives. Students must be prepared for engineering practice through a curriculum culminating in a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints. One year is the lesser of 32 semester hours (or equivalent) or one-fourth of the total credits required for graduation. http://www.abet.org/eac-criteria-2014-2015/

ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, 2014 - 2015 Program Specific Criteria (MECH and CIVL) Program Criteria for Mechanical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs Lead Society: American Society of Mechanical Engineers Curriculum: The curriculum must require students to apply principles of engineering, basic science, and mathematics (including multivariate calculus and differential equations); to model, analyze, design, and realize physical systems, components or processes; and prepare students to work professionally in either thermal or mechanical systems while requiring courses in each area. Program Criteria for Civil and Similarly Named Engineering Programs Lead Society: American Society of Civil Engineers Curriculum: The program must prepare graduates to apply knowledge of mathematics through differential equations, calculus-based physics, chemistry, and at least one additional area of basic science, consistent with the program educational objectives; apply knowledge of four technical areas appropriate to civil engineering; conduct civil engineering experiments and analyze and interpret the resulting data; design a system, component, or process in more than one civil engineering context; explain basic concepts in management, business, public policy, and leadership; and explain the importance of professional licensure. http://www.abet.org/eac-criteria-2014-2015/
