Engineering Education

What is accreditation?

Accreditation is a review process conducted by ABET and CEAB to determine if an educational program meets defined standards of quality. For Nebraska, the education component of licensure is satisfied by graduation from a program accredited by either ABET’s Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) or CEAB. 

Please note that EAC/ABET or CEAB accreditation occurs at the program level, not at the university or college level.

Programs accredited by ABET's Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ABET/ETAC), Applied and Natural Science Accreditation Commission (ABET/ANSAC), or Computing Accreditation Commission (ABET/CAC) do not meet Nebraska's education requirement for licensure.
