Feedback Sought on Accreditation Criteria Feb. 21, 2013 A joint committee from CSAB and the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET has been formulating ideas for potential changes to the ABET Criteria for Accrediting Computing Programs, as well as to the program criteria for Computer Science, Information Systems, and Information Technology. A survey is now available to solicit feedback on these ideas from constituents. Please visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/caccriteria2013 as soon as possible to provide your input. In addition, a survey on possible changes to the Information Systems program criteria was distributed earlier this month. Based on the results of that survey, new proposed IS criteria have been created. Your feedback on these is also requested. Click here to download the proposed changes.
