Programs in Civil Engineering and Construction Engineering Receive Reaccreditation from ABET
September 11, 2017
The Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) has announced that the BS programs in both civil engineering and construction engineering in the UNM Department of Civil Engineering has been accredited to 2023. The six year accreditation is the maximum number of years granted by ABET.
ABET accredits college and university programs in the disciplines of applied science, computing, engineering and engineering technology at the associate, bachelor and master degree levels. With ABET accreditation, students, employers and the society we serve can be confident that a program meets the quality standards that produce graduates prepared to enter a global workforce.
Developed by technical professionals from ABET’s member societies, the criteria focus on what students experience and learn. Sought worldwide, ABET’s voluntary peer-review process is highly respected because it adds critical value to academic programs in the technical disciplines, where quality, precision and safety are of the utmost importance.
More than 2,200 experts from industry, academia, and government give time and effort by serving as evaluators, commissioners, board members, and advisors.
Congratulations to the department and to Dr. Susan Bogus Halter for her leadership in this effort!
