Engineers Canada upholds the honour, integrity, and interests of the engineering profession by supporting consistent high standards in the regulation of engineering, encouraging the growth of the profession in Canada, and inspiring public confidence. As part of its work, Engineers Canada accredits Canadian undergraduate programs in engineering. Students who receive a degree from an accredited engineering program meet the academic requirements needed to become licensed with Canada’s engineering regulators.

CIPS is a Canadian IT Federation of 10 Provincial regulators that license IT professionals in Canada and abroad. It provides accreditation of IT university and college programs. As part of this responsibility CIPS undertakes a program of visits to universities and college/technical institutes to review computing and information technology related programs.

Acredita CI is committed to high quality standards in the awarding of accreditation within engineering and external evaluation processes. They are committed to excellence, independence of opinion and transparency in decisions, spreading the value of accreditation, and the continual improvement of the training process as a way of contributing to the assurance of the quality of higher education. In 2018, Acredita CL became a provisional signatory of the Washington Accord.

ABET is a nonprofit, non-governmental agency that accredits programs in applied and natural science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology. They provide voluntary, specialized accreditation for post-secondary programs within degree-granting institutions already recognized by national or regional institutional accreditation agencies or national education authorities worldwide. ABET is engaged globally through four primary means: 1) accreditation of academic programs; 2) mutual recognition of accreditation organizations; 3) Memoranda of Understanding with accreditation/quality

The Institute of Engineering Education Taiawn (IEET) is a non-profit, non-government organization committed to accreditation of engineering and technology education programs in Taiwan. This includes setting accreditation criteria, training program evaluators, and supporting engineering and technology programs seeking accreditation. Accreditation is a peer-review process with a student-outcomes based orientation. A program requests for IEET accreditation on a voluntary basis, and the accredited status is not permanent; it has to be renewed through periodic review to demonstrate the continuing

The Engineering Council (EC) is the UK regulatory body for the engineering profession. Its Engineering Accreditation Board (AB) is made up of all the professional engineering institutions that are licensed by the Engineering Council to accredit academic programs for both Chartered Engineer and Incorporated Engineer status. The aim of EAB is to encourage consistent accreditation processes and practices as well as to provide a single point of contact to facilitate joint accreditation visits, where appropriate, for member PEIs. The Engineering Council sets and maintains the internationally

ASIIN is a German accreditation agency specialised in accrediting degree programs from the fields of engineering, informatics/computer science, the natural sciences and mathematics at bachelor, Maser and PhD levels. Within an ASIIN programme accreditation procedure, it is possible to acquire specific quality seals (labels) for certain subjects in addition to the ASIIN seal. Currently, the EUR-ACE label for engineering and the Euro-Inf label for computer science and business informatics may be applied for with ASIIN program accreditation.

The Association for Engineering Education of Russia was one of the founding members of the Independent Accreditation Center (IAC), which was the first non-governmental agency for the evaluation of engineering educational programs. In 2001 the AEER initiated the revision of the accreditation criteria and procedures to make them consistent with the world experience in quality assurance in higher education. In 2002, the AEER developed new criteria and procedures for public accreditation of engineering programs. AEER goals and tasks include the professional accreditation of engineering programmes

The Central American Agency for Accreditation of Architecture and Engineering is a non-profit, self-regulating and independent Central American regional body, made up of the academic sectors (public and private universities), government (Science - technology and education), employer (chambers of employers) and professional associations of Central America. It is in charge of carrying out the accreditation processes of architecture and engineering study programs. ACAAI has developed an accreditation manual to define the conceptual framework in which the accreditation system for architecture

The Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders, or Nederlands-Vlaamse Accreditatieorganisatie (NVAO), is a quality assurance agency that safeguards the quality of higher education in the Netherlands and Flanders, in an expert and independent manner, and that fosters the quality culture pursued within the higher education institutions in the Netherlands and Flanders. It accredits existing and new programmes, and assesses the quality assurance of higher education institutions. NVAO bases its assessments on the recommendations of recognised experts. NVAO aims to help ensure that

The Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) was established in 1970 with the mandate to regulate the practice of Engineering in all aspects and ramifications. The council carries out this mandate through the accreditation of engineering programs and other initiatives. At the end of the full process and a visitation, a program is granted either full or interim accreditation (for new programs which can run for two years and correct all deficiencies before a re-visitation.) Full program accreditation is for five years. In 2023, COREN became a provisional signatory of the
