ABET is proud of its achievements in educational quality assurance
through program accreditation in the professional disciplines of
applied science, computing, engineering, and technology. In keeping
with the philosophy of continuous improvement, ABET has adopted the
following Quality Promise:
ABET
will provide its services to its customers with the highest level of
quality. That quality will be the result of ABET’s commitment to
these principles.
Customer
Service:
Each and every customer deserves our best effort. ABET staff and
volunteers are expected to provide customers with courteous,
compassionate service at all times. There is zero tolerance for poor
customer service.
Ethics:
ABET staff and volunteers will perform their work with the highest
professional ethical standards, avoiding conflicts of interest and
striving to improve the ABET professions through good works and
professional responsibility.
Value:
ABET will provide products and services that are inherently useful
to its constituencies and will gauge their usefulness through direct
feedback. ABET evaluation teams will strive to provide a valuable
exchange of information for the continual improvement of educational
programs and engage in meaningful and practical application of its
accreditation practices.
Respect:
All products and services delivered by ABET will be developed and
implemented by respecting constituents’ needs and attempting to
satisfy those needs. ABET will be inclusive in conducting its
activities and will take into account all the varied perspectives
and considerations of its diverse constituencies. ABET will conduct
accreditation activities with minimal interruptions to a program’s
normal operations and without undue burden on a program’s and
institution’s administration.
Accountability:
ABET will maintain a formal means for students, parents, educators,
employers, governmental agencies, and the public to report
inconsistencies, real or perceived, between ABET practices and this
Quality Promise, and ensure that such reports are addressed by the
ABET leadership.
