Which accreditation commission is right for you?

The Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET is responsible for academic degree programs that provide graduates with the depth and breadth of theoretical and applied knowledge needed to function as designers. 

The Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of ABET is responsible for academic degree programs in technology engineering, a degree with a more applied focus, and less emphasis on theoretical and analytical courses.  Persons with experience or knowledge of associate degree programs may be particularly interested in program evaluator service through TAC.
