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 Consejo Nacional de Acreditación en Informática y Computación (CONAIC) sets quality criteria to be met by educational institutions dedicated to teaching informatics and computing. The group accredits academic programs of higher education that meet the quality standards set by the Council for the Accreditation of Higher Education (COPAES). The accreditation of the educational program is valid for 5 years, with accreditation carried out in the following areas: Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, and Computational Engineering.

The Consejo de Acreditación de la Enseñanza de la Ingeniería, A.C., (CACEI) is a non-profit civil association. Its primary objective is, through the accreditation of educational programs in the area of engineering, to promote higher education institutions (IES) to offer quality education to future graduates. Its Accreditation Committee is in charge of overseeing the programmes accreditation process, the self-assessment report, the reports of the assessment committees and the report of the technical commission in order to assure transparency, criteria unification and impartiality in the

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 National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation of Spain, ANECA, is a autonomous body whose aim is to provide external quality assurance for the Spanish higher education system and to contribute to its constant improvement through evaluation, certification and accreditation.

Spanish legislation in Spain establishes that official university degrees must undergo external evaluation processes by ANECA at different stages. In first stage, prior to the implementation of the degree, ANECA, through their VERIFICA procedure evaluates the design of the degree. Once the degree has been

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.

NOTE: Germany recently adopted a centralized

The CTI is an independent body, charged by French law since 1934, with evaluating all engineering training, developing the quality of training, promoting the title and the profession of engineer in France and abroad. The missions of the CTI include the evaluation of all engineering courses at French institutions issuing the title of graduate engineer. Since 2020, the CTI has also been in charge of evaluating Bachelor training from French engineering schools. On request, CTI also evaluates engineering programs at foreign establishments.
