  1. Final Report, Accreditation Decision, Register and Results Publication Oleg V. Boev, Accreditation Centre, Russian Association for Engineering Education PRO-EAST Workshop, Rome, May 9-11, 2007

  2. General Remarks European accreditation system of engineering study programmes • EUR-ACE Framework Standards for the Accreditation (adopted November, 2005) • ENAEE (formally established on February 8, 2006) PRO-EAST Workshop, Rome, May 9-11, 2007

  3. General Remarks The ultimate goal of the ENAEE is to facilitate professional recognition of the engineering degrees awarded by study programmes accredited on the basis of the programme outcomes and accreditation criteria defined in the EUR-ACE Framework Standards. PRO-EAST Workshop, Rome, May 9-11, 2007

  4. General Remarks At present, the agencies authorized to award the EUR-ACE label are: • ASIIN(DE)-Fachakkreditierungsagentur für Studiengänge der Ingenieurwissenschaften, der Informatik, der Naturwissenschaften und der Mathematik e.V. • CTI (FR) - Commission des Titres d'Ingénieurs • ECUK(UK) - Engineering Council UK • Engineers Ireland(IE) • Ordem dos Engenheiros(PT) • RAEE(RU) - Russian Association for Engineering Education PRO-EAST Workshop, Rome, May 9-11, 2007

  5. Evaluation Team To facilitate the dissemination of good practice in accreditation, the accreditation institution should offer the option to include external observers from outside the respective economic region. From each member of the accreditation team, a statement should be received indicating that a conflict of interest does not exist between the HEI at which one or several programmes are being accredited and the panel members. This statement should be received prior to any documentation being distributed. PRO-EAST Workshop, Rome, May 9-11, 2007

  6. Evaluation Team The accreditation team should consist of at least two persons, preferably more, representing a balance of relevant experience and expertise. At least one member of the accreditation team should be an academic, at least one a practising engineering professional. All members of the accreditation team should be sufficiently trained for the conduction of the accreditation process. In this regard accreditation institutions should promote short training courses. PRO-EAST Workshop, Rome, May 9-11, 2007

  7. Decision on accreditation As a result of programme evaluation, the team prepares an accreditation report. It has to include the formulation of recommendation concerning the accreditation decision and the publicationof results according to EUR-ACE Framework PRO-EAST Workshop, Rome, May 9-11, 2007

  8. Decision on accreditation To record judgement of the achievement of individual requirements, a scale with three points should be used: 1. Acceptable 2. Acceptable with prescriptions 3. Unacceptable PRO-EAST Workshop, Rome, May 9-11, 2007

  9. Decision on accreditation The judgment “acceptable” should be awarded to requirements which have been fully met, even if improvements are still possible. The judgment “acceptable with prescription” should be awarded to requirements which have not been fully met, but are judged to be amendable within areasonable period of time (as a rule no longer than half the regular full period of accreditation). The judgment “unacceptable” should be awarded to requirements which have not been met or fully met, and are judged not to be amendable within a reasonable period of time. PRO-EAST Workshop, Rome, May 9-11, 2007

  10. Decision on accreditation The accreditation of an engineering programme should be subordinated to the fulfilment of the requirements. To record judgement of the overall achievement of the requirements, a scale with at least the following three points should be used: • Accredited without reservation; • Accredited with prescriptions; • Not accredited. PRO-EAST Workshop, Rome, May 9-11, 2007

  11. Decision on accreditation Accreditation without reservation,with possible specification of recommendations for the improvement of the programme, should be awarded to programmes for which all requirements are judged to be “acceptable”. In this case accreditation should be awarded for the full period of accreditation (which should not exceed six years). Accreditation with prescriptions,with specification of prescriptions and the time in which prescriptions must be carried out, should be awarded if one or several requirements are judged to be “acceptable with prescriptions”. If a programme is rated as “accredited with prescriptions”, accreditation must be awarded for a shorter period of time after which compliance with the prescriptions is verified. If any of the above conditions are not satisfied, then the accrediting panel can recommend that accreditation be withheld. PRO-EAST Workshop, Rome, May 9-11, 2007

  12. Publication The list of accredited programmes must be made available to the public by each accreditation institution. The RAEE publishes the list of accredited programmes in: 1. Web site of the AC-RAEE 2. ACCENT newsletter 3. ENAEE 4. Washington Accord 5. Mass media PRO-EAST Workshop, Rome, May 9-11, 2007
