to ABET Accreditation
The Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (ABET) is the primary source for evaluating
engineering and related academic programs. ABET divides the
surveying world into three main groups:
Engineering Accreditation
Commission (EAC) - includes Baccalaurate (4-year) Degree programs
in Surveying Engineering.
Technology Accreditation
Commission (TAC) - includes Surveying Technology programs, with
Associate Degree (2-year) programs; and Surveying Engineering
Technology, usually Baccalaurate Degrees.
Applied Science Commission
(ASAC) - includes Baccalaurate (4-year) Degree programs in Engineering-Related programs, such as
Surveying and Mapping.
ACSM (American
Congress on Surveying and Mapping) serves as the lead society for
evaluating programs in all three of these areas. For more
