PROPOSED REVISIONS TO ABET ACCREDITATION CRITERIA credits or one‐fourth of the total credits required for graduation, and both the existing and proposed Criterion 5 specify a minimum of 1 academic year of a combination of college‐level mathematics and basic sciences and 1½ academic years of engineering topics. He suggested that it might make sense to request that ABET's Engineering Accreditation Commission reexamine the concept of requiring a specific minimum, by setting either an absolute minimum requirement of total credit hours for degree completion or an absolute minimum number of credit hours for engineering‐related courses.
