<p>My S is interested in pursuing BioEng/BioMed Eng. As we were researching we were very surprise that only a few programs are actually ABET credited. In fact only 2 out of the 5 of the programs that he is looking at are listed as ABET credited ( Vanderbilt/UT Knoxville). We did not see Clemson, UF, and South Carolina as accredited programs, his other options.</p>

<p>I remember that back in the day, people would only recommend to go to ABET accredited programs because a lot of companies won't recruit if the programs are not ABET certified. Is that still holds true? I know that the company that I work for won't recruit in no ABET accredited engineering programs. I don't know is that the case ffor BioEng/BioMEd Eng.</p>
<p>My guess is that if your palnning to go the graduate route you might not care, but if you want to get your BS and move to the workforce them ABET accredited is good thing. The only thing is that I see that there are many well respected schools and programs that are not accredited </p>
<p>Any comments? Should we care that much?</p>
