LATROBE, PA – Dr. Stephen Jodis, dean of the Herbert W. Boyer School of Natural Science, Mathematics and Computing at Saint Vincent College, will serve a three-year term as a member of the Executive Committee of the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
ABET is a non-profit organization that accredits programs within colleges and universities across the globe in fields of study including engineering, engineering technology, computing, applied science and natural science programs. ABET currently accredits 4,564 programs at 895 colleges and universities in 40 countries. It is recognized as the educational standard for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs.
“It is an honor to be nominated and elected to serve on the Executive Committee of the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET,” expressed Dr. Jodis. “Each year that I am involved with ABET I gain so much personally and in learning about ABET’s aim and efforts to improve education in technical fields.”
A volunteer with ABET since 2007, Dr. Jodis began his ABET service as a program evaluator on a team conducting an on-site visit to review a computer science program for continued accreditation. He served as a program evaluator for four years before being nominated to serve as a commissioner of the Computing Accreditation Commission and team chair.
Dr. Jodis served two five-year terms as a commissioner of the Computing Accreditation Commission before his nomination and election as a member of the Executive Committee. Since his first year as a commissioner in 2010, he has served as a visiting team chair each year. He has also served on the Consistency Committee of the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) in 2021 and 2022 and as co-chair of the Policy and Documents since the 2022-2023 academic year. He also served on the Nominations Committee in 2014-15.
Before serving ABET as a volunteer in the roles of program evaluator, team chair and member of the CAC Executive Committee, Dr. Jodis was involved in ABET accreditation for the Computer Science program that he belonged to when he was a computer science faculty member at Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah, GA. Armstrong applied for computer science accreditation from what was then the Computer Science Accreditation Commission in his first year as a faculty member there. The college was successful in its initial accreditation review and at the time were the second computer science accredited program in the state of Georgia after only Georgia Tech. In his 21 years at Armstrong, Dr. Jodis was involved in CSAC and then ABET accreditation for the department as a faculty member, assistant department head, interim department head and acting dean.
