A Follow-Up Report to the Vision for Change
Sustaining the Change
This report is an important update on the accreditation criteria, participation, and process reform begun by ABET in 1994. Includes background and current status of the reform, as well as detailed observations and recommendations for improvement of ABET constituencies.
Ten years have passed since ABET first became engaged in change. All ABET commissions–Applied Science, Computing, Engineering, and Technology–now have outcomes-based criteria, and the Engineering Accreditation Commission is already seeing programs undergo their second-round evaluations with them. The accreditation process continues to evolve, incorporating both best practices and innovations. Participation in ABET is still a work in progress, with a more balanced industry-education representation, an active diversity task force, and a continued commitment to keeping only the best on the job.
