Range of number of classes required for the same (ABET) major at different schools

Subarea coverage and emphasis within the major can vary at different colleges / departments. This may affect what in-major electives are available to the student.

ABET accreditation basically sets a reasonably high minimum standard, so the program is reasonable preparation for working in engineering. But different programs meeting that standard can vary in many ways (not just in signaling prestige).
