ABET accreditation requires a rigorous outcomes assessment, and a "closing-the-loop" process. The objective is to monitor various components of the programs such as course content, student learning (inside and outside classrooms), extra curricular activities and stakeholder opinion, with the intent of constantly improving. Stakeholders include current students, alumni, employers and the departmental advisory boards.

The College of Engineering and Mines offers 8 undergraduate degrees accredited by . Below you can find more detailed information for each of the program's accreditation.
