criteria were outdated – and that there was too much reliance on“bean counting.” The criteria were burdensome and far too prescriptive. ABET subsequentlyspent a great deal of energy to drastically overhaul the engineering criteria, and the result wasEC2000.3Soon the Technology Accreditation Commission decided that its processes and criteria tooneeded a major overhauling and ultimately the commission, with a great deal of help from thecommunity it serves, developed and published the new criteria for technology programs,currently referred to as TC2K. The new criteria were a move away from input and process(courses taught, faculty credentials, etc.) to outcomes (what students know and are able to do).All eligible engineering technology programs are
