The ABET evaluation is a process in which the EE Masters Program at Devry University is reviewed by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). This evaluation ensures that the program meets specific criteria and standards set by ABET, including the program's educational objectives, student outcomes, and curriculum.
The ABET evaluation is important because it provides external validation of the quality and rigor of the EE Masters Program at Devry University. It also allows the program to continuously improve and stay current with industry standards and practices, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for their careers.
The EE Masters Program at Devry University is evaluated by ABET every six years. However, the program must also undergo a self-study and interim report process in the years between evaluations to maintain accreditation.
The EE Masters Program must meet criteria in areas such as student outcomes, curriculum, faculty, facilities, and continuous improvement. For example, student outcomes must demonstrate that graduates have the skills and knowledge necessary for successful careers in the field of electrical engineering.
The ABET evaluation benefits students by ensuring that they receive a high-quality education that meets industry standards. It also provides students with the opportunity to provide feedback and shape the program's curriculum and objectives. Additionally, graduating from an ABET-accredited program can enhance students' job prospects and make it easier to obtain professional licensure.
