Methodist University’s bachelor’s degree program in Engineering has been accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

 

“The Methodist University Engineering Program is ecstatic to receive ABET accreditation. The accreditation signifies to those across the world that our program has been thoroughly and systematically evaluated,” Dr. Denise Bauer, founding director, chair and associate professor of Engineering at Methodist University shared in a press release. “This is especially important to our graduates as they enter the workforce knowing their engineering education at Methodist has prepared them to be excellent problem solvers that are compassionate and ethically responsible. It will also open doors to our alumni since the accreditation is retroactive to October 2019.'

 

ABET’s voluntary peer-review process is highly honored because it adds critical value to academic programs in the technical disciplines, where quality, precision, and safety are of the utmost importance. ABET accreditation reviews looks at program curricula, faculty, facilities, and institutional support and are conducted by teams of highly skilled professionals from industry, academia and government, with expertise in the ABET disciplines.
