N2 - This paper explores similarities and differences between the new ABET accreditation criteria (EC-2000) and a well-established quality assurance standard in industry (ISO-9000 series). The premise of the paper is that an appreciation of EC-2000 as a tool for quality assurance will lead to greater faculty interest and participation in accreditation-related activities. Some suggestions are also provided for effective implementation of EC-2000.
