2 2012 ABET ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Over the past year, higher education institutions and accrediting agencies faced a vibrant and challenging landscape. While demands for high-quality technical education have increased dramatically worldwide, institu- tions in the United States faced more accountability and scrutiny than ever before. This dynamic scenario presented ABET with an array of new opportunities and challenges, which will be highlighted in this Annual Report.

As we have done for 80 years, ABET kept its commitment to refi ne and implement accreditation processes that are recognized as among the most effective and innovative in higher education quality assurance. At the same time, we Larry A. Kaye, Ph.D., P.E., and Michael K.J.

* Individual programs may embrace more than one curricular area, and thus may be counted more than once in this table. ** Data above may differ from that reported in previous versions of this publication as a result of retroactive accreditation. Retroactive accreditation occurs when a commission extends accreditation to encompass the academic year prior to the one in which a program’s on-site review was conducted. Retroactive accreditation may be applied to cover a new program’s early graduates, whose work is usually evaluated during the initial accreditation visit. *** Statistics reported for a single commission may vary greatly from year to year, depending on criteria changes, number of programs visited, and other factors.

16 2012 ABET ANNUAL REPORT 2012 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR

ABET would not be the gold standard in global post- secondary technical education accreditation if the organization merely conducted program reviews. Many activities and individuals contribute to ABET’s status as a leader in educational quality assurance and its aim to continuously improve its services and processes. These highlights detail the activities upon which ABET has focused over the past year and recognize some notable members of the ABET community.
