Abstract
Engineering Criteria 2000 or EC2000 is the new set of criteria that Engineering programs must satisfy in order to be accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). While some of the ideas behind EC2000 are certainly likely to have a positive impact on engineering education, others are questionable, and indeed may have a negative impact. The paper attempts to justify this claim by presenting some hypothetical programs and examining how they will fare under EC2000.
