Policy on Licensure and Licensure-Related Certification

ABET encourages graduates of ABET accredited programs and other educationally qualified persons who work or practice in the applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology professions to strive for professional recognition by enhancing their individual credentials through licensure and certification programs.

Licensure and certification are among the recognized methods of demonstrating to the public an individual’s competency, qualification and expertise in professional practice.

Moreover, licensure and licensure related certification provide a commitment to the understanding of professional, ethical, and societal responsibilities, and emphasize the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare within society.
