ABET Assessment Resources

Improving Student Outcomes

Assessment of student learning, with a focus on continuous improvement, is key to ensuring the quality of educational programs and preparing graduates to enter a global workforce. We offer an array of educational opportunities and resources, including virtual and in-person workshops, on-demand videos, planning tools and articles.

Assessment Workshops

Our workshops serve as invaluable professional development resources to deepen your understanding of the program assessment process. They also provide the opportunity to build your professional network and share your knowledge with experts in the ABET community.

ABET will be hosting a Fundamentals of Program Assessment workshop in October 2026 in Cairo, Egypt! More information to come as the dates are still being finalized. Please contact education@abet.org if you would like to be notified when registration opens.
