<p>ABET accreditation is a comprehensive process; the goal being to ensure consistency and competency among schools without dictating program structure… The process is broken into three primary parts: 1) school fills out a self-study, 2) ABET reviews the study and follows up with on-site verification of study, and 3) school either becomes accredited or has a small window of time in which to correct deficiencies in order to become accredited.</p>
<p>The exact details of what information are considered in the accreditation process are nebulous at best. Schools “tell it how it is” and ABET decides whether or not they are good enough to be accredited. However, to answer your question, yes, ABET does consider relative strength of curriculum/program and tries to maintain consistency among schools… especially with regards to grading policies. That doesn’t mean that exact correlation exists between schools, but it does ensure general consistency.</p>
