| Abstract Scope |
ABET's criteria, procedures and policies for accrediting engineering programs are revised annually with input from the many stakeholders, including technical societies, ABET volunteers, and institutions. This presentation will explain the processes by which these documents are revised and review recent changes. Of particular interest is the upcoming requirement that programs ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion are part of every student’s education. The history of these additions to the program criteria, as well as guidance from ABET on how to document this in your self-study and visit, will be covered. Significant time will be left for questions, and the talk will be followed by a panel of ABET program evaluators. |
