A Proud Legacy of Quality Assurance
in the Preparation of Technical Professionals: ABET 75th
Anniversary Retrospective, Edited by John W. Prados, Ph.D., P.E.
This is the first publication of its kind: A thoughtful
investigation of quality assurance in U.S. postsecondary
technical education. Weaving annotated prose with original
documents and reflections from some of ABET's most prolific
volunteers, the 75th Anniversary Retrospective tells an
interesting tale of the people, places, and paradigms that have
shaped the organization and its significant role in applied
science, computing, engineering, and technology education. A
great gift for educators and ABET volunteers, and a worthy
addition to the campus library. View the pre-publication
cover,
