Since its founding in 1999, the Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea (ABEEK) has strived to assure the quality of educational programs in engineering and related disciplines, and to enhance the professional competence of the graduates of those programs in Korea. ABEEK aims to promote the development of engineering education and produce qualified engineers by providing the accreditation of college educational programs in engineering and related fields and the consultation through the criteria and guidelines suggested for those programs. Their vision is to provide an accreditation and consultation system to stimulate the innovation of engineering education in Korea so that a vast majority of engineering students are able to be qualified on the global standards. The accreditation procedure takes approximately 20 months from the announcement and is divided into three phases: preparation, evaluation and decision-making.
