In fall 2005, the ABET Board of
Directors unanimously approved proceeding with developing a plan for
non-U.S. accreditation that will continue to honor existing
mutual recognition agreements and
memoranda of understanding and phase out
substantial equivalency evaluations.
Substantial equivalency evaluations
have since been phased out, a draft non-U.S. accreditation plan
has been created, and the first non-U.S. accreditation visits were held in fall 2007.
The non-U.S. accreditation visits are conducted using the same accreditation criteria and the
same policies and procedures as U.S. visits. Interested parties
should learn more about ABET accreditation by visiting the links
listed under "Resources for programs" on the left-hand navigational
