Become an ASME/ABET Evaluator

A:	Typically a Program Evaluator is assigned one visit per year. The time commitment involved for a visit includes 1) Approximately 30 hours pre-visit preparation (over a span of a few months on your own), 2) 2.5 days accreditation visit at the institution (typically Sunday, Monday, and a half-day on Tuesday), plus travel time and report generation (started before you leave the visit and completed on your own).

Upon completion of the workshop, Program Evaluator candidates will be assigned as observers on visits with experienced Program Evaluators.
