Constituencies & how to involve them

PEO review process (minimum)

A simple, ABET‑friendly process that is easy to sustain:

  1. Annual constituency input collection (surveys + IAB meeting).
  2. Committee analyzes input + job market signals.
  3. Recommend updates (if any) + document rationale.
  4. Approve via department governance.
  5. Publish changes and communicate to stakeholders.
