ABET Accreditation Surveys

Our Metallurgical Engineering program is under review from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) for accreditation. An important component of this process is the collection of information from students who have graduated from the Department, as well as from their employers. Surveys such as seen below were sent to all graduates. It is important that we receive as many responses as possible from our alumni and employers and we encourage you to make the effort to complete the questionnaire and request that you ask an appropriate person in your organization to complete and return the employer questionnaire as well. Your response will be a considerable benefit to us. The questionnaires are straightforward and should not take a great deal of time to complete. The questionnaire can be completed online.

ABET Employer Survey

Privacy Statement: Responses will be kept confidential and will not be released to anyone outside the Department without your permission.

Our Metallurgical Engineering program is undergoing the ABET accreditation process. One of the key portions of the process is program assessment and improvement. In order to improve the effectiveness of our degree programs we need your help with the following questions. Thank you for your cooperation in this important matter.
