This paper explores similarities and differences between the new ABET accreditation criteria (EC‐2000) and a well‐established quality assurance standard in industry (ISO‐9000 series). The premise of the paper is that an appreciation of EC‐2000 as a tool for quality assurance will lead to greater faculty interest and participation in accreditation‐related activities. Some suggestions are also provided for effective implementation of EC‐2000.
