Abstract
The understanding and exposure to students of standards in science and engineering education programs is now essential to worldwide applications and is a keynote criterion for Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) certifications. ABET is a non-governmental accrediting organization that reviews post-secondary education programs in applied and natural science, computing, and engineering. These standards range from the safe use of consumer products to wireless technologies in fire and security systems. This paper provides an update on the progress made by two universities involved in co-developing course modules on Standards in Science and Engineering Education. This course exposes and educates engineering students on the applicable standards in their respective fields. Variations of the module address the engineering study curriculums and allow for easy insertion into existing lower-level semester-long engineering courses. Upon final review of this course module, it will be distributed at no cost to colleges and universities worldwide.
