Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). 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. Since 1932, ABET has provided quality assurance of education through accreditation. ABET accredits more than 2700 engineering, engineering technology, computing, and applied science programs at over 550 colleges and universities nationally.
The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington, Bothell (UWB) began in autumn 2014 and received full ABET accreditation in September 2019. All graduates of the program are retroactively included under the umbrella of the ABET accreditation.
