CSAB (professional organization)


CSAB, Inc., formerly called the Computing Sciences Accreditation Board, Inc., is a non-profit professional organization in the United States, focused on the quality of education in computing disciplines. The Association for Computing Machinery and the IEEE Computer Society are the member societies of CSAB.
The Association for Information Systems was a member society between 2002 and September 2009.

Who is doing what:
The Computing Sciences Accreditation Board, Inc. was founded in 1984, with Taylor L. Booth as first president.
Initially, CSAB had its own accreditation commission called the Computer Science Accreditation Commission.
But in November 1998 CSAB and ABET agreed to integrate CSAB's accreditation activities within ABET. The result is that in 2000 a reorganized CSAB became a member society of ABET and that, starting with the 2001-2002 cycle, a merged and renamed CSAC operates as the fourth commission of ABET: the Computing Accreditation Commission.
