ABET Symposium

The 2019 ABET Symposium

The Symposium is our flagship event for accreditation, assessment and the global exchange of best practices in STEM education. Build your network. Learn new strategies. And share ideas with like-minded individuals from all over the world. Our premier event brings together passionate faculty from Dallas to Dubai to discuss all things ABET. The ABET Symposium is perfect if your program is interested in applying for accreditation or reaccreditation. Get a head start; learn about recently approved criteria changes.

This year’s theme, Generation Cyber, focuses on cybersecurity and how we are preparing students and graduates to address current and future challenges of protecting internet-connected systems, software and data from cyberattacks.
