ABET Accreditation for Engineering Management Programs

Abstract

Accreditation guidelines for all engineering management programs have been proposed by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). These guidelines have been published by ABET for the purpose of receiving comments from interested parties. Comments will be addressed by ABET at its November 10, 1989, meeting. Suggestions for changes have been submitted by the American Society for Engineering Management (ASEM) and by the Engineering Management Division of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). These changes have not yet been in corporated into the guidelines. This article describes the process by which ABET develops guidelines. It also contains the proposed guidelines and the suggested changes.
