Abstract

The mechanical engineering department of Majmaah University was being upgraded for ABET accreditation from 2017 to 2019. The quality appraisal by an autonomous agency is the requirement for the accreditation of the university. Accreditation can be obtained either for the entire institution or for individual programs within an institution. Universities request accreditation agencies to assess their programs, faculty, and students’ achievement, whether they comply with the criteria set for higher educational institutions. The organization is regularly reassessed and accredited to ensure compliance with standards.
