Six students have graduated with a BS in Industrial Engineering fromTAMUC and all six hold competitive positions in the IE discipline. With this level of proven success so early in the program history, the next logical stepwas to submit a request for an accreditation assessment visit to the Engineering AccreditationCommission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
