ABET 2015 Calendar - Program Assessment - Workshops and Symposiums

ABET is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization that accredits college and university programs in the disciplines of applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology. ABET accredits over 3,400 programs at nearly 700 colleges and universities in 28 countries. ABET provides specialized, programmatic accreditation that evaluates an individual program of study, rather than evaluating an institution as a whole.

ABET accreditation, which is voluntary and achieved through a peer review process, provides assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards established by the profession for which the program prepares its students.

ABET is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

Types of Accreditation: What's The Difference!

To be accredited, a school or program undergoes a review by an accrediting organization. Institutional accreditors review entire colleges, universities or vocational schools. Programmatic accreditors review programs in areas ranging from the health professions to engineering.

Technology Defines Much of Higher Education’s New Normal [#Infographic]

Technology Defines Much of

Higher Education’s New Normal [#Infographic]

Today’s college students have more options than their 1980s counterparts had, but their time is also stretched more thinly across the school day.

by D. Frank SmithGoogle+Twitter

Frank is a social media journalist for the CDW family of technology magazine websites.

A lot has changed about the typical college experience over the past 30 years.

A new infographic from Flat World Education highlights the differences in college costs, student demographics and factors affecting work-life balance, among other features of college life, between college students of the 1980s and those of today.

Technology has helped foster growth in the education world, but it has also increased the workload. According to the infographic, two out of three college students today use a smartphone for school work — a capability that didn't exist even 10 years ago, let alone 30. The data also shows that 45 percent of today’s students will take at least one online course, whereas learning in the 1980s was confined to classrooms.

Take a trip back to the Reagan years and see how higher education has changed:
