Program outcomes and institutions management frameworks as seen by EUR-ACE and by CTI: A comparison of criteria

Abstract

In Europe, the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE) has created in 2005 a specific frame concerning different levels of accreditation of engineering education: the EUR-ACE label. This frame is now extending to other continents such as Asia and Africa. The agencies authorized by ENAEE to deliver EUR-ACE label have, amongst other points, to prove that they assess that the HEIs that they are accrediting satisfy criteria concerning their management and the learning outcomes of their graduates. This paper presents the reasons why Commission des Titres d’Ingénieur (CTI) -which is the French accreditation agency for engineering education - knows when it evaluates an institution that the requirements of the two accreditation systems are coherent.
