Engineers are poised to helpcreate this sea change because they impact nearly every industry and everything human-made.Through their design and execution decisions, engineers directly and indirectly influence thecreation of everything from consumer goods to hardware and software products to buildings andmodes of transportation, thus their decisions make positive or negative impacts on the planet andits people, today and into the future.5 For engineers to contribute in a positive and

US and 39 other countries around the world. ABET sets standardexpectations for college-level content in engineering and technology fields through consultationwith the discipline’s professional society (e.g. AAEES for EnvE and ASCE for CivE) andsupervision of the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) [18]. In addition to specificareas of technical knowledge, ABET includes some professional-readiness skills such asteamwork, communication, and data analysis [19]–[21]. Accreditation in its modern form doesnot consist of a check list of requirements which could create high levels of curricular uniformityacross institutions. The old check list format led, in part, to the development of the modernEC2000 standards [22]. Modern accreditation
