About ABET We are a forward-thinking, purpose-driven organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. A federation comprised of 35 professional and technical member societies, we accredit college and university programs in the areas of applied and natural science, computing, engineering and engineering technology at the associate, bachelor and master degree levels. Based in Baltimore, our reach is global and we have more than 3,850 programs in more than 775 institutions in 31 countries. We accredit programs, not institutions. As a specialized accreditor, we provide accreditation for post-secondary programs within degree-granting institutions already recognized by national or regional institutional accreditation agencies or national education authorities worldwide. Our accreditation is voluntary and to date nearly 3,850 programs at over 775 colleges and universities in 31 countries have received ABET accreditation. With ABET accreditation, students, employers and the society we serve can be confident that a program meets the quality standards that produce graduates prepared to enter a global workforce.

ABET’s Strategic Priorities 2016-2019 To position ABET for the future and to make our organization stronger and more agile, our Board of Directors and senior leadership have identified five areas of strategic importance to ABET for the next three years: 1. Enhance effective, efficient, scalable processes to support ABET operations and services. 2. Strengthen ABET’s core products and expand services to address the changing needs of our growing constituency. 3. Develop and execute a communications plan to engage constituents and build confidence in the benefits of ABET’s accreditation process and services. 4. Improve technical education worldwide through accreditation, partnerships, and engagement. 5. Implement and refine the new governance structure.
