... Except Stanford is ABET accredited, and as are all the major Engineering institutions and leaders.
The fact that most users here are reaching to downvote literally the fact that leading Engineering institutions all fall in this bucket is absolutely depressing from this community. It's clear some feelings have been "hurt" here by other users having higher educations.
- vitus 5y agoIt's not all-or-nothing for the university -- some programs are not. "Like the CS department, the EE department is no longer ABET accredited. While such accreditation is useful in certain disciplines such as civil engineering, it has no practical significance whatsoever in computer science." https://cs.stanford.edu/degrees/undergrad/Considering.shtml https://cs.stanford.edu/degrees/undergrad/Considering.shtml Similarly, UC Berkeley also declined to renew their ABET acreditation for their EECS department, and so they haven't been ABET-accredited for the past few years. "Both of these programs are accredited by ABET through September 30, 2019, but because we have decided not to continue applying for ABET accreditation, we will be developing a single set of student learning outcomes for our department, rather than using the two sets of outcomes mandated by ABET for EECS departments.
