Each year, the member societies contribute over 1,500 volunteers serving as program evaluators, committee and council members, commissioners, and Board representatives.

ABET Accreditation

� Visiting Team of evaluators is assembled and self-studies are reviewed in advance of a 3-day on-campus visit by the Team in the Fall. (last Fall we did 124 accreditation visits -- 10 outside the US)

� The school receives the Team’s report of each program on the last visit day. There is a due process response period.

� Final judgment is rendered the following July

� ABET Accreditation is valid for six (6) years? sometimes we go back in three years?occasionally we revoke accreditation.

Accreditation Process Snapshot (cont’d)

� All this is done by volunteers and requires 100+ hours of effort.

� The ASME Center for Education maintains an active cadre of ~170 Program Evaluators (PEV’s)

� PEV’s are selected from applications. They must be ASME members with at least a Master’s Degree and 10+ years


ABET Accreditation

members with at least a Master’s Degree and 10+ yearsprofessional experience.

� They must participate in a 2-day training workshop involving about 40 hours pre-work and go on an Observation Visit with an Evaluation Team before joining the active pool of evaluators.

� PEV performance is formally evaluated during training and on the Observation Visit and on every evaluation visit thereafter.

� PEV’s can and are removed from service on the basis of poor evaluations -- This is serious business.

Graduate Teaching Fellowships

Collaboration between ASME and mechanical engineering departments to encourage academic careers.(Most PhD’s go to industry)

Teaching assistantship commitment from applicant's department required

$5,000 each year for a maximum of two years

Generally, two (2) new Fellows selected each year

Program began 1992

43 fellowships have been awarded (56% to women)

75%+ of the Fellows have pursued academic careers

Notably – GTF’92 Patsy Bracken, Rose-Hulman is now an ASME/ABET EAC Commissioner) and GTF’94 Johne Parker, University of Kentucky was an ASME Federal Fellow

Created the first ASME grad student brochure & grad student website:

go.asme.org/gradstudents

Created the first grad students reception at IMECE (2008) in collaboration with the Early collaboration with the Early Career Development Committee

Note: ASME Membership Development reports a 16% increase in grad student members over FY2009
