The ABET Self-Study Report, generated from your evidence
The Self-Study Report is where a program shows ABET how it meets each criterion. Academix assembles it from the data you collect all cycle, in your commission’s official outline, and exports it as an editable Word document.
What the Self-Study Report is
ABET evaluates a program partly on the Self-Study Report it submits, which addresses how the program meets every criterion and applicable policy. It covers all delivery methods and paths to the degree, must be written in English, and is due by July 1 of the review year. Each commission publishes a Self-Study Questionnaire that sets its outline.
What Academix puts in it
| Part | Filled from |
|---|---|
| Background | Program information and your narrative sections. |
| Criterion 1, Students | Your policies and the enrollment and graduation record. |
| Criterion 2, Program Educational Objectives | Your PEOs, their mapping to the mission, your constituents and the PEO review record. |
| Criterion 3, Student Outcomes | Your outcomes and performance indicators, and how they relate to the PEOs. |
| Criterion 4, Continuous Improvement | Attainment results, the assessment campaigns, surveys and closed-loop improvement actions. |
| Criterion 5, Curriculum | The curriculum, with Table 5-1 generated from your courses. |
| Criterion 6, Faculty | Faculty records, with Table 6-1 of faculty qualifications. |
| Criteria 7 and 8 | Facilities and equipment records, and institutional support narratives. |
| Program Criteria | The 2026–27 Program Criteria for your discipline, word for word, followed by your response. |
| Appendices | Course syllabi, faculty vitae, equipment (Appendix C) and the institutional summary (Appendix D). |
The narrative sections stay yours to write: Academix gives each one its own editor and progress status, and supplies the data-driven parts so the numbers in the report are the same ones your team sees on screen.
Why generate it instead of writing it from scratch
- One source of figures. Attainment, tables and counts come from the same records as the dashboards, so a download never disagrees with the screen.
- The right outline. The report follows the outline of your program’s commission: EAC, CAC, ETAC or ANSAC.
- The exact criteria text. Program Criteria are printed as ABET publishes them, including proposed changes when they are out for comment.
- Evidence in one place. Files attached to each criterion are listed in the report’s evidence index.
