Accreditation is one of the leading techniques used by academic institutions to ensure the delivery of quality educational programs. One of the leaders in providing technical accreditation is ABET. They provide a set of criteria that was developed by technical professionals to ensure the quality of the programs that are accredited. These criteria should be assessed by the institution applying for accreditation. ABET does not specify how the institution should demonstrate its adherence to its criteria. This paper presents an overall framework that uses rubrics that can be systematically applied in a short time frame. This methodology was applied by the computer engineering department at King Saud University. The methodology will highlight where the institution is able to meet the ABET criteria. It provides a set of remedy actions that could satisfy the expected outcomes.
