U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Chief of Engineering and Construction
"The Army Corps of Engineers has substantial work in many overseas countries. We expect and require that entry-level graduate engineers and students bring a consistent level of core competence to the job. We believe it essential to help establish the standard for the engineering profession and ABET accreditation offers an excellent way to help influence the quality of education and training.
Not only has technology moved us to be more global in our thinking and expand our use of worldwide resources, but the state of world affairs and conflicts means that the U.S. and other countries will have to depend on each other more and more. ABET can help level the playing field for many professions by establishing standards recognized and accepted worldwide."
