With the rapid globalization of higher education as well as related changes in social, political, economic, and other conditions over the last 25 years there have been ever increasing expectations for higher education, in general, and Engineering Education, in particular. These expectations are often expressed in terms of the need for Quality Assurance locally, regionally, and globally. In some cases, there is a long tradition of independence and self-regulation of higher education institutions and programs. In other contexts, there has been c- siderable governmental regulation and disciplinary direction over time. The authors in this volume represent essentially all continents and 15 different countries. The common issues that they raise and their accounts of past, present, and future ch- lenges provide a snapshot of the current state of Quality Assurance in higher edu- tion and Engineering Education. This volume begins with an overview of the history and background of Quality Assurance in higher education and Engineering Education over the last century. The discussion of the historical, philosophical, political, and social background of Quality Assurance sets the stage for the other chapters. Following this broad brush stoke introduction, in the next part of the book, authors describe the general issues and challenges facing Quality Assurance in the twenty-first century from both regional and national perspectives. These authors have extensive experience in the area of Quality Assurance and have observed its growth and develop first hand over many years.

Engineering education reform has been a topic of discussion for the last twenty years. The concern has only intensified in recent years as stakeholders strive to improve quality in engineering education. Today, stakeholders are recognizing that one of the keys to successful engineering education reform is in taking a systems view of higher education. Academic departments within the higher education system are organized around academic disciplines for the purpose of creating, transferring, and applying knowledge in three principal areas: teaching, research and service. This study addresses the need for quality improvement in the engineering higher education system by first completing a literature review in order to identify recurring themes on the issue. A proposed systems view is presented. The thesis builds a case for viewing students as the primary stakeholder based on stakeholder theory concepts. The application of a systems view is then used to identify the impacts of the recurring issues on the identified stakeholders of the system. Recommendations are made to address the system's issues.

The rationale of this research thesis is to identify the gaps in accreditation criteria and to develop a well-structured, globally adaptive, systematic, transparent accreditation framework for quality assurance in engineering education. In engineering education, accreditation involves the assessment of educational programs against defined accreditation criteria. A review of the literature shows that although various accreditation frameworks have recently been developed and implemented to assess engineering courses using the criteria, there are however serious gaps in the assessment and accreditation process. Most of these frameworks lack uniformity or non-equivalence in standards as well as being too complex and non-transparent. Most of these frameworks cater for national engineering education systems and there are no reports in the literature of the development and successful implementation of a trans-national or international accreditation framework in engineering. Furthermore, these frameworks do not assess all of the essential elements of the educational process cycle, i.e. the input, the teaching and learning and the output. Other limitations are; the problems associated with 'outcomes' based assessment criteria are not always comprehensively measured student learning outcomes. There are difficulties in obtaining the performance data, such as the assessment of graduate attributes or competencies, graduate employability and industry feedback. The engineering graduate attributes (outcomes) are not clearly defined and not sufficiently monitored in the assessment criteria. The assessment data for the graduate attributes and graduate outcomes is generally not well documented. As a result, the existing engineering criteria developed by worldwide accreditation bodies to accredit engineering programs do not assess adequate engineering graduate competencies. The thesis provides a way forward with important insights on the engineering graduate competencies with a case study from Monash University's employer survey for engineering graduates. Based on the literature review, review of existing accreditation frameworks and findings on employer survey on engineering graduate competencies, the following research statements are formulated in this project: •The existing accreditation frameworks developed and implementedworldwide in engineering education are not equivalent or comparable(uniform).•The criteria developed and applied for engineering program accreditationneglect the educational process cycle as a whole.•There is no clear-cut and comprehensive assessment of engineeringgraduate competencies incorporated in the engineering accreditationcriteria.The Thesis outlines and describes the design and development of a global accreditation framework in engineering based on the gap analysis from the literature review and from the findings on engineering graduate competencies based on employer survey. The subsequently developed Global Accreditation Framework is a comprehensive mechanism for ensuring consistent accreditation standards for quality assurance in engineering education and comprises all three parts of the educational cycle, namely; input, teaching/learning and output. This framework will provide a common framework of standards for engineering accreditation in the global context and also provides important insights on the engineering graduate competencies. The application of the developed Framework in six engineering institutions from the Asia-Pacific countries, namely; Australia, Malaysia and India, is described in this Thesis. A field work data collection and the in-depth discussion on the findings of the fieldwork data analysis are also presented. At the end, important conclusions and future work in the direction of research are derived and possible challenges as well as implementation strategies for the developed accreditation framework are discussed.

This book details the key concepts, objectives and processes relating to the professional accreditation of engineering bachelor (honours) degrees. The contemporary context of accreditation is examined in terms of the globalised nature of both the engineering profession and higher education. Examples of the processes relating to single and dual accreditation are provided, with examination of the Washington Accord and the requirements of the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education. Details are also provided as to how learning outcomes can be structured to demonstrate compliance with accreditation criteria. The final chapters deal briefly with quality assurance processes used in education and the current international quality ranking systems which exist. This book will provide the reader with a detailed examination of outcome based education within the context of Bachelor of Engineering (honours) degrees. A key feature of this book is the side-by-side comparison of different accreditation criteria and a thorough discussion of the relatively new phenomenon of dual accreditation. The book seeks to provide a very clear explanation and exploration of accreditation within the context of engineering education and will benefit those practitioners involved in the accreditation process.

This book examines quality teaching in professional education in the fields of engineering and international knowledge structures. The second of a two-volume series, the editors and contributors structure the book around case studies which highlight the elements constituting good practice within professional education. While there is no one specific route to prepare well-qualified professionals, this volume explores the decisions the academics responsible for delivering this education make to ensure quality curricula. Ultimately, the key to effective preparations rests with the value employers place on the focus, emphasis and balance between the academic and practical in relation to their own expectations for skills that graduates must have. The second volume in this collection will appeal to students and scholars of professional pedagogy, and engineering pedagogy more specifically.
