Accreditation
The ABET accreditation process, a voluntary, non-governmental process of peer review, helps assure quality in educational programs. ABET-accredited educational programs must meet certain defined standards. The civil, architectural and environmental engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

Accreditation serves to notify:
- Parents and prospective students that a program has met minimum standards
- Faculty, deans and administrators of a program's strengths and weaknesses and of ways to improve the program
- Employers that graduates are prepared to begin professional practice
- Taxpayers that their funds are spent well
- The public that graduates are aware of public health and safety considerations
The present accreditation process requires each educational program to participate in a loop of self-examination and improvement:
- Definition of desired program objectives and outcomes
- Collection and evaluation of data regarding how well objectives and outcomes are being reached
- Formulation and pursuit of appropriate means of better accomplishing objectives and outcomes
- Repetition of the process beginning with re-evaluation of objectives and outcomes
