ABET Inc. accreditation is assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards established by the profession for which it prepares its students. For example, an accredited engineering program must meet the quality standards set by the engineering profession. An accredited computer science program must meet the quality standards set by the computing profession. The quality standards accreditation requires are set by the ABET Inc. professions themselves. This is made possible by the collaborative efforts of many different professional and technical societies. These societies and their members work together through ABET Inc. to develop the standards, and they provide the professionals who evaluate the programs to make sure they meet those standards. Careful, considerate and thorough attention is given to our programs’ educational endeavors and the measures we take to improve our effectiveness and relevance in the modern worlds of Engineering Technology and Surveying Engineering.
