<p>Many of the schools that provide educations in the engineering disciplines, are accredited with the ABET. </p>
<p>So what does it mean for a student at Harvard in the engineering SEAS school when only the engineering sciences is ABET approved? What does that mean as far as mechanical, etc? since its a concentration...</p>
<p>Any help here would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Meh…I don’t think it matters for a school on the level of Harvard. I doubt you’d have any trouble getting professionally licensed as an engineer or qualifying for graduate admissions. I believe your Harvard engineering sciences education with a mechanical engineering concentration is still accredited by ABET.</p>
<p>If you’re really worried about it, can’t you take some classes at MIT to supplement? Not sure how that works.</p>

<p>Mechanical engineering is a track in the engineering sciences. All of their engineering tracks are ABET accredited. No problems there.</p>
<p>When you go to the ABET site and look at Harvard–it lists Eng Sci not EE, ME etc…
and a degree as an EE or ME for example is a different animal–
Eng Sciences is not the same…</p>
<p>How would one find out more information about Harvards engineering grads
–where they are
–can they sit for a prof exam straight out of Harvard for the ME exam for example</p>
<p>In most disciplines–to get a PE credential–one needs to have gotten an accredited ABET degree right?</p>

<p>ABET accredits programs only, not degrees, departments, colleges, or institutions.</p>
<p>All the engineering disciplines are under the engineering sciences program. The engineering sciences program is ABET qualified.</p>
