JABEE was established in 1999 to support fostering international professionals. Accreditation of JABEE is voluntary and is a third-party accreditation. Evaluations are conducted in cooperation with academic societies of engineering, agriculture and science. Accreditation of JABEE is neither qualification of individual students nor certification of education institutions. It is accreditation of professional education programs from the perspective on whether the curriculum and benchmark of the program meet international standards. JABEE accredits education programs with JABEE Accreditation Criteria in accordance with the concept of each accord: Washington Accord for engineering education programs, and the Seoul Accord for Computing & IT-related education programs.
