<p>my school, Penn State, just started Biomed Eng. this 02.</p>
<p>I'll be graduating this 10 -11. the school says they will start the accredition process this 08, and will end in 09. So, by the time i gradute My school maybe finally be accredited. but there is a slight chance for the school to be not accredited.</p>
<p>Is it a problem if the Biomed Eng. isn't accredited, do the employers look for that?</p>
<p>Biomedical engineering is not subject to state licensure, and so ABET accreditation is not particularly important to most BMEs or BME employers. A number of top BME programs are not ABET-accredited. However, an ABET degree may be helpful if you want the option to transition into a more traditional engineering discipline, like ME or ChE.</p>
