Analysis of ABET accreditation as a software process
Ronald J. Leach · 2008
The ABET assessment process is highly complex and is emphasizes the use of assessment to improve programs. Since the process is complex, it has a considerable overhead. This paper will present some models for estimating the added overhead of such assessment. The models can be used to help determine if any other activities must be curtailed because of the increased overhead of assessment. The models suggest which categories of colleges and universities will be affected most adversely by the overhead of the ABET accreditation process.
