This core should uniformly define what it takes to become an engineer and what constitutes the minimum content of an engineering curriculum. It should also ensure a broad education that emphasizes the basics, encourages lifelong learning, and inculcates desirable experiences and capabilities.These recommendations served as the basis for the development of ABET Engineering Criteria2000 (commonly abbreviated as EC2000).
