ABET accreditation assures that programs meet standards to produce graduates ready to enter critical technical fields that are leading the way in innovation and emerging technologies, and anticipating the welfare and safety needs of the public.
“The Methodist University Engineering Program is ecstatic to receive ABET accreditation. The accreditation signifies to those across the world that our program has been thoroughly and systematically evaluated,” said Dr. Denise Bauer, founding director, chair and professor of Engineering at Methodist University. “This is especially important to our graduates as they enter the workforce knowing their engineering education at Methodist has prepared them to be excellent problem solvers that are compassionate and ethically responsible. It will also open doors to our alumni since the accreditation is retroactive to October 2019. This would not have been possible without so many people on campus, including the students.”
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.
