Undergraduate Accreditation
Chemical Engineering (ChE)
Accreditation of undergraduate engineering programs ensures that the programs produce graduates who are prepared to meet the expectations of employers, the public or pursue further study in engineering or other fields. Computing, engineering, applied and natural science, and engineering technology programs are accredited by ABET which, in conjunction with the various professional societies, develop the criteria for accrediting the programs.
