As we gear up for an impactful new season, we are thrilled to announce that ABET’s four accreditation commissions have elected their newest commissioners, set to begin their vital work on August 1.
These dedicated professionals will play a crucial role in reviewing educational programs and making the final accreditation decisions — ensuring we uphold the highest standards of excellence within the Applied and Natural Science Accreditation Commission, Computing Accreditation Commission, Engineering Accreditation Commission and Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission.
Each accreditation commission is responsible for the continuous review and enhancement of its particular criteria, policies and procedures subsequent to review and approval by the appropriate governance body.
A huge congratulations and heartfelt thanks to our newly appointed commissioners — your leadership and dedication are vital to maintaining ABET’s legacy of quality.
To our staff and volunteers: your support and effort underpin this important work. Together, we build a stronger, more innovative future.
Let’s welcome our new commissioners — we look forward to their inspiring contributions!
