ACCREDITATION BY EAC IN 2009
Awareness on EAC accreditation • Be prepared for the accreditation visit • Everyone will be involved
EAC BEM IEM PSD LAN WHAT IS EAC ? Engineering Accreditation Council • Formed in 2000 Previous accreditation for engineering programs : PSD (1957) IEM (1959) BEM (1967) LAN(1996)
WHAT IS EAC ? Engineering Accreditation Council • formulate and update accreditation policy and criteria • approve guidelines and operating procedures • oversee operational arrangements and appoint evaluation panel • receive evaluation report and decide on accreditation • respond to complaints, appeals or any proposals for change • oversee development and operation of accreditation and mutual recognition agreement with other countries • foster the dissemination of developments and best practices in engineering education • hold consultation meetings with universities when necessary
WHY NEED ACCREDITATION ? GOVERNED BY THE REGISTRATION OF ENGINEERS ACT 1967 (Revised 2002) • no person is allowed to practice unless he is a professional engineer • professional engineer may use “Ir” before his name OR “PEng” after his name • graduate engineer to register before taking up employment as an engineer

graduate engineer to register before taking up employment as an engineer WHY NEED ACCREDITATION ? Those who has successfully completed an accredited engineering programme Professional Engineer - a graduate engineer who has obtained the prescribed practical experience, passed the Professional Assessment Examination, and satisfied all other requirements of the Board of Engineers (BEM)
WHY NEED ACCREDITATION ? Our last accreditation was in 2004 for 5 years program Next accreditation visit will be in 2009 - for 2005 intake What’s the big deal? We have been accredited before Program to be acredited in 2009 will have to be based on OBE
OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION Accreditation will be made on the OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION (OBE) program Which means that our program will have to be based on OBE Of course there are pros and cons on OBE – Googled the word ‘outcome-based education’ and you will see what I mean !
OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION OBE in a Nutshell • What do you want the students to have or able to do? • How can you best help students achieve it? • How will you know what they have achieved? • How do you close the loop.
