Educational Objectives and Outcomes ABET
What is ABET (Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology)?
Agency that reviews degree granting engineering and
technology programs throughout this country to ensure that
they are meeting established standards of educational
quality.
Why is ABET accreditation important to
students?
Nationwide recognition and is highly valued by employers
State licensing boards and certification programs may
require graduation from an ABET accredited program during
the registration or certification process for professional
practice.
ABET, continued
Programs are required to specify outcomesabilities
and characteristics that students are expected to
possess upon graduation.
The also program has to develop and implement a
process of continuous improvement, involving the
collection and analysis of quantitative data regarding
the program outcomes, the evaluation of this data to
assess whether the program objectives are being
achieved, and the initiation of actions to correct any
problems that are identified.
The School of Chemical Engineerings accreditation
was renewed in 2008.
ABET, continued
Outcomes that are pertinent to ChE 200:
understand and appreciate the need for professional integrity
and ethical decision making in the professional practice of
chemical engineering (6)
demonstrate an understanding of contemporary issues
encountered in the professional practice of chemical
engineering including business practices, environmental,
health, and safety issues and other public interests. Our
graduates will be aware of the wide-reaching effects that
engineering decisions have on society, our global community
and our natural environment (8)
appreciate the need for and engage in life-long learning to
maintain and enhance the professional practice of chemical
engineering (9)*

Educational Objectives and Outcomes
Engineer of 2020
ABET criteria have added to the breadth of engineering
curricula, however they often fail to emphasize key skills
such as leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, and
managing change.
How do you adapt an engineering program to meet the
changing needs of 21st century graduates?
At Purdue, the Engineer of 2020 initiative began in 2004
after the release of the NAE publication The Engineer of
2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century.
Two year later, after much discussion and debate, Purdue's
Engineer of 2020 Target Attributes were approved by the
faculty.
