NanoEngineering Program Receives ABET Accreditation
The NanoEngineering program (B.S.) is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org. ABET is the global accreditor of college and university programs in applied and natural science, computing, engineering and engineering technology. UC San Diego's NanoEngineering program is the first of its kind in the nation to receive this accreditation. Our NanoEngineering students can feel confident that their education meets global standards and that they will be prepared to enter the workforce worldwide.
ABET accreditation assures that programs meet standards to produce graduates ready to enter critical technical fields that are leading the way in innovation and emerging technologies, and anticipating the welfare and safety needs of the public. Please visit the ABET website for more information on why accreditation matters.
Congratulations to the NanoEngineering department and students!
