How important is it to the military or a civilian employer that the EET degree be an ABET accredited program? What make it on to the list of accredited programs?

RE: ABET
Certainly ABET accreditation would be important. But if you're going to all that work, you should go for a full BS.

For someone trying to obtain a job without any experience the quality of their education is the only thing that they can point towards. Therefore the ABET certification will be more important. In addition it will be more difficult to obtain a PE license without a degree from an ABET institution.

RE: ABET
If you are choosing between a program with and without ABET accreditation, ask yourself why the program without the accreditation does NOT have it.
RE: ABET
I would also pay a lot of attention to the word of mouth reputation of the school and consider asking some HR managers at various companies what they think of graduates from the chosen institution.

Moreover, at the time, I thought I was going to design ICs for a living, and there was no suitable lab for that endeavor. Most of my lab experience in ICs was acquired in my part-time job.

RE: ABET
The point, though, has a good piece of advice for you Daredevilearth.... that if you can't get a program with lab time be sure to compensate for that as best as you can. By compensation I mean see if your line of work can get you hands on experience or even start experimenting with bread board circuits at home. You should be able to bread board most of what you will study in your classes anyway. Lack of a scope may make things a bit more difficult, but not impossible. If your budget permits, you may be able to find either a used, or an inexpensive scope that will meet your needs.

Will these degrees be accredited by ABET?
The universal accreditor of engineering programs in the U.S. is ABET -- Accreditation Board of Engineering Technology). ABET accreditation is only granted after the first class of students graduates from the program. Therefore, this online degree is not yet an ABET accredited program. We plan to seek ABET accreditation upon the graduation of the first class of students.
In designing our program we have been in close contact with and followed the strict advice and guidelines of ABET to help ensure eventual accreditation.
The same faculty who offer the EE degrees on their campuses will be teaching these online courses, so you are assured of a high-quality, challenging, engineering education , completely equivalent to what you would receive on one of the three campuses.
What institution will give me my diploma?
When the degree programs are approved – (expected next year) – you will get your Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering from the campus you have chosen to be your home institution ( Binghamton University , University at Buffalo or Stony Brook University ).
