2 2013 ABET ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Technical education is the driving force behind innovation and the technologies that enable a “world without borders.” From professionals collaborating on software around the globe, to doctors performing life-saving surgeries remotely, technology is driving innovation that affects our everyday lives. ABET’s mission is to support quality in technical education that is critical to enabling that innovation.

As the global leader in quality assurance in technical education, ABET stands poised to meet the demands of 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 2013 ABET ANNUAL REPORT 2013 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR

ABET would not be the gold standard in global 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.

Starting in Since ABET started offering accreditation services outside 2012, our Board members were involved in a series of the United States in 2007, 365 academic programs at self-assessment exercises, which continued throughout 72 institutions in 23 other nations have achieved ABET 2013. These activities focused on updating our strategic accreditation in applied science, computing, engineering, plan and assessing our current governance structure. As a and engineering technology. Because of our active result, we created a standing Strategic Planning Committee. In the past, a task force was responsible for that area.
