Accreditation Commissions

The four accreditation commissions lead and conduct ABET accreditation activities. These commissions are responsible for reviewing educational programs and making the final accreditation decision for each program. Their members make final decisions about all program accreditation actions, except for appeals, which fall to the Board of Directors.

Each accreditation commission is responsible for the continuous review and enhancement of its particular criteria, policies and procedures. All changes to the accreditation criteria and policies require the Board’s approval.

Our current commission membership includes:
