I'm planning on majoring in either CS or Software Engineering, but the software engineering program is abet accredited. Will employers care?
I'm sorry I gave the wrong information. The software engineering program at the university I was going to transfer to is not abet accredited. but they offer it anyway. Will that matter to an employer as to getting a CS degree that is abet accredited?Dr Transport said:yes, they care... and that is why schools spend large amounts of money to stay accredited, if they don't then their graduates tend not to get jobs.

Vanadium 50 said:You want to know if an unspecified employer with an unspecified job cares about which degree you get from an unspecified institution? I guess the answer is "maybe".
Well tomorrow I'm going to call the school I'm interested in and ask them.Vanadium 50 said:Is not English. Is not even slang. If you want people to take you seriously, you really need to stop using this.
You still haven't clarified any of this. And you expect good advice? The answer will be very different if you are developing software for the medical or aviation industries or designing an app to better share cat videos on your phone.
Not all employers may prioritize ABET accreditation, but it is recognized and respected by many industries and employers as a mark of quality education and preparation for engineering and technology professions.
ABET accreditation ensures that graduates have met the rigorous standards set by the accrediting body, and have the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in their field. This gives employers confidence in the abilities of potential candidates and helps them make informed hiring decisions.
While ABET accreditation is not a requirement for employment, it can give graduates a competitive edge in the job market. Many employers may prefer or require candidates with an ABET-accredited degree, especially for specialized and technical positions.
ABET accreditation is highly valued in industries such as engineering, technology, and computing, where technical knowledge and skills are crucial. It may also be important for certain job roles, such as licensed engineers, where accreditation is required for licensure.
You can research the company and their industry to see if ABET accreditation is commonly mentioned or preferred in job postings. You can also directly ask the employer about their stance on ABET accreditation during the interview process. Additionally, speaking with alumni or employees from the company may provide insight into their views on accreditation.
