hopefully learn more about utilizingassessment methods effectively in their individual program. BackgroundFounded in 1932 under the name Engineers' Council for Professional Development, ABET(formerly Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accredits post-secondarydegree-granting programs. Many people interpret this to mean that ABET accredits departments,colleges, or even courses. In reality, ABET accredits programs, and your accreditation workshould reflect the program as a whole.Some programs treat the six-year time lag between visits with the following timeline: - Year 1 – Celebrate success of previous ABET visit. - Years 2-4 – Feel that ABET is a long time away
