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







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)



Our last accreditation was in 2004 for 5 years program

Next accreditation visit will be in 2009

- for 2005 intake

Programs to be accredited in 2009 will Programs to be accredited in 2009 will have to be based on OBEhave to be based on OBE

What’s the big deal? We have been accredited before


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 of OBE – Googled the words ‘outcome-based education’ and you will see what I mean !

NONO OBE = OBE = NONO ACCREDITATION ACCREDITATION


OBE in a Nutshell

• What do you want the students to have or able to do?

OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION

• How can you best help students achieve it?

• How will you know that they have achieved?

• How do you closed the loop?

PO1 is assessed using Test 2PO1 is assessed using Test 2

PO2 is assessed using question 2 of the final examsPO2 is assessed using question 2 of the final exams

• PO’s assessment will not affect students’ grades

• If you teach a course, then you need to do this

• PO’s assessment will not be used to evaluate lecturers

a = exams, tests, quizzes b = assignments

Measured PO’s : PO1 0.66 , PO2 0.691

If KPI for PO1 and PO2 for this course is 0.65, then this course has achieved the KPI

Analysis will be made based on all courses by JKKA



IN SUMMARY: Direct assessment

Identify PO’s to be evaluated based on PO to CO mapping

Identify method of assessment

The ones with STRONG emphasis are chosen

e.g. FE questions, tests, quizzes, assignments

Perform the assessment

Calculate and measured the PO’s
