also evidence in the computer science literature to support these points. For thethird of these points, if our experience is representative of other institutions with ABET-accred-ited computer science programs, then the observations made in this paper may be of some inter-est to them.With the preceding three points in mind, it is reasonable to consider some ways to reduce theamount of time spent on ABET accreditation as well as to increase the benefits that the processproduces. After providing some background data, this paper presents four possible alternativesfor improving the ABET process.2. BackgroundOur department offers degrees in both computer science and software engineering. Both of ourdegrees are accredited by ABET, and have been so
