Washington Accord: Mutual Recognition Agreement states: Accreditation criteria, policies and procedures of the signatories have been verified comparable Accreditation decisions made by one signatory are acceptable to the other signatories Recognition applies only to accreditations conducted within the signatory’s national or territorial boundaries, except: Offshore programmes offered by university with programs accredited in home territory A designated signatory accredits in a developing countries where the is no capacity to operate an accrediting body From presentation given by Prof. Hu Hanrahan in Taipei 2011.

Washington Accord: Benchmarking Agreement states: The Signatories will identify and encourage the implementation of best practice for the academic preparation of engineers by mutual monitoring regular communication and sharing of information: accreditation criteria, systems, procedures, manuals, publications lists of accredited programs; invitations to observe accreditation visits; and invitations to observe meetings of any boards Regular monitoring through six-yearly visits From presentation given by Prof. Hu Hanrahan in Taipei 2011.

Old Method of Judging Substantial Equivalence Reviewer S1 S12 S2 2007-2011 Rules and Procedures 5.3.3. The Final Report shall include: …. g. A statement as to whether the standard of the graduates of accredited/ recognised programs are substantially equivalent to graduates of other Accord signatories. …. and mine? S11 S3 Reviewer Are S6’s standards substantially equivalent to mine? S10 S4 Reviewer S9 …. and mine? S5 S8 S6 S7 Reviewed Signatory From presentation given by Prof. Hu Hanrahan in Taipei 2011.

New Method of Judging Substantial Equivalence Reviewer S1 S12 S2 S11 S3 2011-- Rules and Procedures 5.1.9.g a collective judgement by the Team as a whole as to whether the accreditation standard is substantially equivalent to that of the Accord as illustrated by the exemplar graduate attributes of the relevant Accord. Are S6’s standards substantially equivalent to the Graduate Attributes? Reviewer S10 S4 Reviewer S9 S5 S8 S6 S7 Reviewed Signatory From presentation given by Prof. Hu Hanrahan in Taipei 2011.

Graduate Attributes Defined Graduate attributes form a set of individually assessable outcomes that indicate the graduate's potential to acquire competence to practise at the appropriate level. The Graduate Attributes are exemplars of the attributes expected of graduate from an accredited programme. From presentation given by Prof. Hu Hanrahan in Taipei 2011.

Graduate Attribute Overview Knowledge-oriented 1: Using engineering knowledge Skill-oriented Group 5: Modern Tool Usage 9: Individual and teamwork 10: Communication 11: Project/Engineering Management Defined Knowledge Profile Problem-solving Skill Group 2: Problem analysis 3: Design/development of solutions 4: Investigations Attitude-oriented Group 6: The Engineer in Society 7: Environment and Sustainability 8: Ethics 12: Life long learning Defined Level of Problem Solving From presentation given by Prof. Hu Hanrahan in Taipei 2011.

FEIAP ENGINEERING EDUCATION GUIDELINES Published in December 2010 copyrights

Mission of FEIAP Guidelines To set up FEIAP Engineering Education Accreditation Guidelines that will underpin the development and enhancement of outcomes focused engineering education programs in member economies. To assist member economies through the use of these guidelines to systematically develop accreditation systems that will ultimately deliver graduate capabilities matching those within the WA and /or EUR-ACE systems or equivalent. To provide assistance which will track the development needs of individual economies appropriate to nation building.

IEET/CIE’s Mentors Myanmar Objective Help MES to bench-mark the engineering degree programmes in Myanmar with best practices in FEIAP economies, and to give the confidence that engineering degree programmes accredited by the EAC in Myanmar will be of substantial equivalence to degree programmes by other FEIAP economies. This will mean the degree programmes will meet the basic education requirements of APEC engineers.
