The International University of Rabat (UIR) is seeking ABET accreditation, an international standard for universities, to be more globally competitive. We assisted the Director of Information and Digital Sciences at UIR in preparing the Computer Science program for the application process. We used surveys and interviews to gain an outlook from students, faculty, and alumni; curriculum mapping to assess course outcomes; and consistency tables to assess the alignment between course and lab content. We found that many courses lacked structure in their course descriptions and syllabi, making it difficult to evaluate the quality of the program. We recommend providing more structural tools for faculty to assess their courses and educating the UIR community about the value of ABET accreditation.
