To encourage engineering programs to respond to the concern of industries many accreditation boards all over the world for engineering course have recommended criteria for the accreditation of engineering course. These criteria give valuable suggestions about forming curriculum and courses. One needs to plan instruction strategy so that these criteria are met.
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) introduced the Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000) to evaluate Engineering Programs in the USA. ABET specifies eleven sub-criteria 3a – 3k under criterion 3, as below.

3a An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
3b An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
3c An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs
3d An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
3e An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
3f An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
3g An ability to communicate effectively
3h The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context
3i A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
3j A knowledge of contemporary issues
3k An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
