JABEE (Japan Accreditation Board for Engineering Education) is an organization that examines and accredits programs in engineering education at science, engineering, and agricultural faculties throughout Japan. The educational programs accredited by the board are designed to foster the education of engineers in accordance with international standards. Program content focuses on small group instruction in particular, and all students who graduate are certified as having completed a program designed to prepare engineers to perform their work in an international environment. In addition, graduates of JABEE-accredited programs are exempt from the First Stage Professional Engineering Examination and are deemed "Engineer in Training." Furthermore, if certain specified conditions are met in accordance with the proper registration requirements, qualification as an Associate Professional Engineer can also be obtained.
JABEE has been a signatory to the Washington Accord that is an international agreement among bodies responsible for accrediting engineering degree programs.
Four JABEE-accredited courses have been established at CIT thus far and are currently being conducted within the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the Department of Civil Engineering, the Department of Applied Molecular Chemistry, and the Department of Mathematical Engineering. In these four courses, credits are certified according to the level of academic attainment established by each department in accordance with uniform criteria prescribed by JABEE.
