| Abstract Scope |
At the time of submission of this abstract, a proposal to add diversity, equity and inclusion language in two criteria in the ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) General Criteria is out for public comment. At the time of this presentation, the EAC will have received, considered and responded to public comments on these proposed changes. The proposed revisions are intended to require that engineering programs prepare their students to work effectively on diverse teams and prepare engineering solutions for a diverse population – particularly those with backgrounds and needs that are different from their own. In this presentation, some approaches to accomplishing this objective will be discussed. |
