THINKING ABOUT A TECHNICAL DEGREE?

摘要

If s great that you are exploring a technical degree as part of a future course of study. After all, careers in these rewarding fields make our world a better place. Technical professionals design, build, and maintain the devices, systems, software, materials, and structures that improve everything from safe water systems to computing systems, from biomedical devices to communications devices. Technical professionals also have the potential to earn substantially more upon graduation than those in non-technical fields. As you consider if an applied science, computing, engineering, or technology degree program may be right for you, there's something that you should look for - programs that have received accreditation from ABET. First of all, what does "accreditation" mean? Accreditation is a process in which an educational program is reviewed to determine if it meets certain standards. Accreditation in the U.S. is voluntary. However, over 3100 technical programs at some 600 colleges and universities in 21 countries have chosen to undergo the ABET accreditation process.
