NSPS ABET Member Society Status Ratified


In October 2012 NSPS News and Views reported that the ABET Board of Directors approved the application from NSPS to assume the responsibilities formerly undertaken by ACSM. The application had been filed subsequent to the merger of ACSM into NSPS, which was finalized in August.

In a recent letter, ABET Executive Director Michael Milligan informed NSPS that the ratification of the ABET Board’s action has been completed. NSPS will continue to enjoy the same privileges and responsibilities formally undertaken by ACSM, including serving as Lead Society for Surveying and Geomatics Programs in all three ABET Accreditation categories (EAC, ASAC, and ETAC).

NSPS has revamped the former ACSM CARE Committee, forming the new NSPS ABET Committee to be chaired by Jason Racette. Jason, with assistance from Steve Frank and Steve Johnson, is updating the Program Evaluator (PEV) team roster to include new members and eliminate the names of those longer wishing to participate.
Anyone interested in participating on the PEV team should contact Curt Sumner at curtis.sumner@nsps.us.com.
