ABET: REVISED 2015 - 2016 - Accreditation Policy and Procedure Manual




ABET Cloud Based Assessment 

AEFIS is a Cloud Based Service that allows Engineering Departments at Major Universities the Ability to Capture, Analyze, Edit and Automate any and all information related to the ABET Accreditation Process - its web based, so its a simple low cost automated system that can be Accessed + edited - by any Authorized Person - Anywhere - at Any Time - on Any Device.  more info


Value: Cloud Based / Automated - ABET Assessment
It also eliminates the enormous inefficient use of time and money spent by the faculty and staff of most engineering colleges prepping for ABET Certification Audits more 


Increase Engineering Program - Performance
Automating the Assessment Process Frees Up significant time and resources amongst the Engineering Education Staff allowing you to reallocate the resources where they will provide your university with its greatest value + that is spent Improving the Engineering Program Curriculum as well as the performance of instruction and student learning.


Increase Rankings / Enrollment / Student Learning

The automation of the data analysis and reporting identifies improvements that can be made to key teaching and learning processes to quickly increase student learning performance + the ranking of Engineering Schools among similar universities that compete for the same student enrollments.

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).
