. The Engineers’ Council forProfessional Development (ECPD), founded in 1932 and later renamed the Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology in 1980, began reviewing the first engineering degree programsin 1936 [1]. By 1947, ECPD had accredited 580 undergraduate engineering programs. However,biomedical/bioengineering programs did not receive accreditation until the 1970s, and even by2000, only twenty-six programs were ABET accredited. However, biomedical/bioengineeringprograms have experienced rapid growth (Figure 1) since 2000, and there are now 115 ABETaccredited programs [1]. Total ABET Accredited BIOE/BME Programs
