Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) is a non-profit organization that evaluates and accredits higher education programs in engineering, technology, and applied science. Its role is to ensure that these programs meet certain quality standards, helping students receive a comprehensive education that prepares them for their careers. Accreditation by ABET assures employers that graduates have the necessary skills and knowledge. Many engineering programs in the United States seek ABET accreditation to demonstrate their commitment to excellence in education, which can enhance their reputation and the value of their degrees in the job market.
