REQUIRED TRAINING

For those who are appointed to the Program Evaluators' roster, CC&A requires the following training to be completed prior to becoming an official ASCE Program Evaluator:

1. Attendance at a CC&A-sponsored Accreditation Forum which is a half-day training session offered at ASCE national conventions and at other locations around the country from time to time.
2. Participating in an ABET accreditation visit as an official ASCE Observer. The arrangements with the Observer, the university being visited and the ABET Team Chair will be coordinated by ASCE's Coordinator of Education Activities. ASCE will reimburse the Observer for the round-trip coach airfare or mileage, if over 50 miles one-way, and a per diem allowance according to the then prevailing ASCE rate. It should be realized that the ASCE per diem may not cover all expenses incurred.
3. Other equivalent training and experience may be considered by CC&A on a case-by-case basis.
