Committee on Global Accreditation Activities (CGAA)

To support the development and operation of independent accrediting bodies for engineering, computing, and technology degree programs where none currently exist, the CGAA provides a range of consulting services and technical assistance to interested academic, government, and professional opinion-leaders. 

These include:

• helping inform key local and regional constituents about the meaning and significance of professional accreditation;
• assisting in conducting feasibility studies regarding the creation of an engineering education accrediting system;
• facilitating meetings of academic, business, and/or governmental organizations with a potential shared interest in accreditation;
• auditing existing accreditation structures and processes;
• assisting in the design and/or update of existing accreditation standards and procedures;
• helping develop processes to identify and train volunteers for service on program visit teams and accreditation policy committees;
• helping develop organizational governance structures.
