Background
Dual-discipline programs are generally presented in one of three ways:
- X Engineering and Y Engineering (e.g. Electrical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering).
- X and Y Engineering (e.g. Electrical and Biomedical Engineering).
- X Y Engineering (e.g. Electrical Biomedical Engineering).
In its review of the current Interpretive Statement, the P&P Working Group (Working Group) came to the conclusion that the requirement that programs that include multiple disciplines in the name “must meet the Accreditation Board accreditation requirements for each discipline named” was prescribing a level of review that would not be appropriate for some programs that i
