Does the engineering program or school need to be ABET accredited?

If the degree isn't, can you still land a job?

    Hi Audrey, 
    
    In my personal experience, I have found that having gone to an ABET accredited school to be very useful. When I was searching for jobs right out of college, almost all jobs I was interested in had asked for a degree from an ABET accredited university.
    What I would suggest for you is to look up some job requisitions posted online from companies you are interested in, and see it says in the job description if this is a requirement. This would be a good start.
