[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many mid-size universities offer ABET-accredited engineering.[/quote] how important is ABET? What does it do? Explain it to me like I'm 5 please, this is all new. [/quote] ABET is the accrediting body for Engineering Schools in the USA. It defines minimum standards for engineering curricula. One really ought to be getting one’s engineering degree from an ABET accredited E School in almost all cases. The exceptions to this “ought” are the top-10 E Schools, places such as MIT or Caltech, which might not bother with obtaining ABET accreditation. Their curricula still follow the ABET guidance in general, but possibly vary by requiring more rigor than ABET requires. Note that one wants an ABET accredited school for any sort of engineering, even for engineering degrees (e.g., Computer Engineering) which will not later require a PE license to be employed. [/quote]
