AUS reaffirms excellence with prestigious ABET accreditation for seven engineering programs until 2030

Sharjah, UAE, August 29, 2024 – American University of Sharjah’s (AUS) College of Engineering (CEN) has once again proven its commitment to academic excellence, by successfully renewing the accreditation for seven of its undergraduate programs with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). ABET is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization that accredits college and university programs in the disciplines of applied science, computing, engineering and engineering technology.

ABET accreditation is a globally recognized mark of quality and excellence in engineering education. For an engineering college, securing ABET accreditation is a prestigious accomplishment that validates the strength of its curriculum, faculty and resources. It also provides students and employers with confidence that the education provided is of the highest international standards, positioning the institution as a leader in engineering education. Programs seeking accreditation and reaccreditation from ABET’s Engineering Accreditation Commission must demonstrate compliance with eight general criteria, covering essential aspects of the educational experience, including program objectives, outcomes, curricula, student support, continuous improvement, faculty, facilities and institutional support.

The seven undergraduate programs, reaccredited through September 30, 2030, include CEN’s chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science programs.

This recognition underscores our commitment to delivering an exceptional educational experience that equips our students to excel in their careers, be ready for future challenges and make meaningful contributions to society locally and globally,” said Dr. Fadi Aloul, Dean of CEN.
