E.C.P.D. initiates plan to accredit Eastern schools

The Engineers´ Council for Professional Development, sponsored by the leading national engineering societies, the engineering educators, and the engineering examiners announced during July the inauguration of its program for accrediting engineering schools in New England and the Middle Atlantic States. The program will be offered to the other parts of the country after a trial period in these 2 regions. Notice is being sent to the presidents of all degree-granting engineering schools in the 2 areas advising them that the E.C.P.D. stands ready to receive requests for consideration of particular engineering curricula which the schools may wish to submit. The plan to be followed in the accrediting procedure was outlined in Electrical Engineering for February 1935, pages 249–50, and March 1935, page 343.
