Internationalization
International agreements:
At present CACEI has aimed at internationalization as one of its strategic labour targets for medium and short term as well as permanent updating by keeping in touch with accreditation processes in other regions.
Current international agreements:

Other international activities
We have expanded our scope of action beyond our borderlines assessing educational programmes in other Latin American nations and establishing cooperation agreements with foreign organizations. For Mexican Higher Education Institutions, CACEI accreditations stand as a pre-requirement to be awarded ABET certifications since we have the recognition of this important agency. As well and as part of this internationalization strategy, we are undergoing the incorporation process to international organizations such as the Red Iberoamericana para el Aseguramiento de la Calidad en la Educación Superior (RIACES for its initials in Spanish) and The Washington Accord, this being a chapter of The International Engineering Alliance.
