ABET responded with aseries of meetings of engineering stakeholders designed to build consensus on changes to theaccreditation process. These workshops led to the piloting of a new set of accreditation criteriathat expanded the historical focus on technical competencies in engineering, which eventuallybecame mandatory for all undergraduate engineering programs in the U.S. in 2001 (Prados et al.,200518).

AbstractConventional architecture and architectural engineering pedagogy deals with design of buildingsand systems for earth-specific functions, spans and load demands. Architecture curriculum hasrequired educators to constantly transform and innovate their course offerings to meet the changingtrends and rapid technological advancements. The discourse about space exploration andcolonization have placed a creative onus on educators who have traditionally taught design forearth conditions alone. While terrestrial structures are typically designed for service conditionsand region-specific severe conditions, outer space structures in contrast are designed for uniqueextreme conditions such as zero or microgravity, gamma radiation, high temperature fluctuations,and
