Program Evaluators
Improving Technical Education
ABET accreditation would not be possible without our ABET Experts — professionals from industry, academia and government dedicated to contributing to their professions through the ongoing improvement of the quality of technical education.
We rely on our experts to evaluate program materials, visit campuses and participate in accreditation decisions. Most begin their service as program evaluators, who do the hands-on work of accrediting 4,773 programs at 930 institutions in 42 countries. Those with the strongest leadership abilities are promoted into the ranks of the commissions, each serving as a team chair – responsible for leading teams of evaluators.
More than 2,200 dedicated STEM professionals from academia, industry and government form the heart of our peer-based accreditation services. These well-respected experts are the face of ABET, representing us at campuses around the world.
To meet the worldwide demand for ABET Accreditation, we are expanding the number of program evaluators.
