Three of thereasons are for the personal benefit for the engineer, including an appreciation of beauty,enhancing the imagination, and the development of leadership characteristics. Two

Moreover, even if this expertise were available, mostboards simply would not have the time to perform such evaluations.Historically, the U.S. licensure system has addressed this limitation through accreditation. Thelicensure community supported the establishment of the Engineers’ Council for ProfessionalDevelopment (ECPD) in 1932 to develop a system “whereby the progress of the young engineertoward professional standing can be recognized by the public, by the profession, and by the manhimself, through the development of technical and other qualifications which will enable him tomeet minimum professional standards.”2 ECPD was subsequently renamed the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET); and while
