Help Build the ABET Compliance Tool Engineering Programs Actually Need

I'm building software to solve ABET's biggest pain points - and I need your input

Digital Accreditation Lab is in alpha development. I'm looking for 10-15 engineering program directors to:

  • See the working alpha version
  • Tell me what needs to change
  • Shape what gets built next

In exchange: Lock in founder pricing for life ($299/year when regular price will be $999/year)

ABET accreditation shouldn't be a scrambling sprint every 6 years

Too Late to Fix

You don't discover compliance gaps until 6 months before the site visit - when it's too late to collect missing evidence or implement improvements.

Disconnected Documentation

Student outcomes data, continuous improvement evidence, and assessment results scattered across spreadsheets, faculty computers, and filing cabinets.

"Closing the Loop" is Hard

Documenting that you actually used assessment results to improve your program - the most common ABET citation - requires evidence that's difficult to maintain across 6-year cycles.

What I'm Building (Based on Feedback from Program Directors)

1. Assessment Data Management

The Pain:

"Gathering and organizing 6 years of assessment data is overwhelming. Ensuring every student outcome is assessed in at least two courses requires going through EVERY assessment in EVERY course manually."

The Solution:

Upload assessment data (CSV/Excel), automatically map to ABET Student Outcomes (1-7), see coverage gaps, track performance over 6 years.

2. ABET Requirement Guidance

The Pain:

"Many programs make it harder on themselves by deciding things are required that aren't. ABET's actual requirements are simpler than people think."

The Solution:

Templates and guidance showing what ABET actually requires - helping you focus on essentials without unnecessary overhead.

This is an alpha. It works, but it's not complete. Your feedback will determine what gets built next.

Why I'm Building This

Hi, I'm Sean - a software engineer with 20+ years of experience.

I started researching ABET compliance pain points and heard the same problems repeatedly:

  • "Gathering and organizing 6 years of assessment data is overwhelming"
  • "Getting faculty to submit materials on time"
  • "Programs overcomplicate what ABET actually requires"

One program director told me:

"I'm seriously considering resigning to avoid the self-study work next year"

That last one hit hard. No one should want to quit their job to avoid accreditation prep.

I'm building DAL to make the actual work (data + documentation) manageable - so program directors can focus on teaching and research instead of drowning in spreadsheets.

But I need your help. I don't want to build the wrong thing.

If you're willing to spend 2 hours giving me feedback on the alpha, I'll give you founder pricing for life.

Schedule Interview

Schedule an Interview + See the Alpha

I'm looking for 10-15 program directors who will:

What You Get

  • Lifetime founder pricing ($299/year vs. $999/year regular)
  • Direct influence on what gets built
  • Priority support as features launch
  • Early access to all new capabilities
  • My eternal gratitude for helping shape this

What I Need From You

  • 30-minute interview + alpha demo (this week or next)
  • Try the alpha with your real assessment data
  • Honest feedback - tell me what sucks
  • Follow-up conversation after you've used it

Time commitment: ~2 hours total (30-min interview, time using alpha, 30-min follow-up)

Limited to 15 participants. First come, first served.

We'll never share your information. You'll receive updates about DAL and can unsubscribe anytime.
