"My rationale for becoming involved with ABET? It’s critical that industry have a voice in the development of new engineering programs and curriculum content to ensure that the future employees are qualified to address the business challenges of the near future.

ABET provides an assurance that there is standardization and consistency in the engineering curriculum. This is so important to a company like UPS, which is one of the largest employers of industrial engineers globally.

In the future, I’d like to see: ABET societies become more diverse from an industry, gender and ethnic perspective; an increase in international involvement and engagement; and improvements in the K-12 STEM disciplines."
