Here is some great news for Texas A&M University-Texarkana and anyone that is looking into a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering at the school. TAMUT has been reaccredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

You might be asking why is this such a big thing. Here is why, ABET accreditation basically makes sure that the programs meet certain standards so that the graduates are ready to enter technical fields that are so important in today's world right now and emerging technologies in the fields too.

A&M-Texarkana President Dr. Ross Alexander said in a press release.

ABET accreditation is the gold standard for Engineering and Technology programs internationally and a true exemplar of academic excellence for the University. Meeting these rigorous standards ensures that A&M-Texarkana students are earning the highest quality Electrical Engineering degree. Therefore, our talented graduates are extremely attractive to employers and workforce ready on day one.

So not only does it mean the graduates of this degree will be sought after to employ more and more students will want to come to TAMU-T to study and receive the degree which is good not only for the university but for Texarkana too.

ABET’s voluntary peer-review process is respected worldwide as adds critical value to academic programs in the technical disciplines, where quality, precision, and safety are of the utmost importance.

ABET now has accredited 4,564 programs at 895 colleges and universities in 40 countries and areas.
