Seeking info about engineering in college, as an undergrad major versus graduate program. I have heard of ABET accreditation for undergrad programs. Does this exist at the grad level? Is it unusual for STEM majors (not in engineering) to attend grad school in engineering.

Or better way to ask: can a student without an undergraduate ABET accredited engineering degree go to grad school and get ABET accreditation? If yes, would it be possible with an M.S. degree or would the PhD be necessary? And at that level, is the ABET accreditation relevant?

Current thinking is an undergraduate degree in engineering physics which does not come with the accreditation. Grad school maybe aerospace but possibly some other type of engineering.
