accreditationcriteria were a generally proscriptive listing of specific course, curriculum, facility, and facultyrequirements. Many referred to the accreditation process as being one of “bean counting.” Therewas a growing dissatisfaction with the process with many believing that it forced all programs tohave the same “beans” and did not allow the innovation needed for engineering education toevolve and improve. As a remedy to this situation, a set of outcomes based criteria wereproposed. These were used experimentally for the first time in 1996. These criteria were referredto as Criteria 2000, now more commonly called EC 20002.These outcomes based criteria provide a broad description of the abilities an engineeringgraduate should have but leave the institution
