Academic programs accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET are expected to meet the rigorous demands of the accreditation criteria on an ongoing basis. These criteria continue to evolve to reflect recent changes in the academic discipline and meet the computing industry’s most up-to-date demands. How should the accreditation criteria reflect the computing curricula transition from the knowledge-based to the competency-based model? Should the accreditation criteria be more prescriptive in asking programs to include topics in artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, sustainable computing, and other areas in their curriculum, or should that choice be left to individual programs? How should the accreditation criteria reflect the inclusion of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility topics in the program curriculum?

This BoF seeks to gather input from the computing education community to help inform the next revision of ABET computing accreditation criteria concerning program curricula.
