Accreditation of engineering degree programmes- current requirements and future challenges –
An International Perspective
Technische Universität Berlin
2
Accreditation Accreditation is a process in which certification of
competency, authority, or credibility is presented.
Organizations that issue
credentials or certify third
parties against official
standards are themselves
formally accredited by
accreditation bodies; hence
they are sometimes known as
"accredited certification
bodies".
Technische Universität Berlin

Accreditation The accreditation process ensures that their certification practices are
acceptable, typically meaning that they are competent to test and certify
third parties, behave ethically, and employ suitable quality assurance.

Quality Benchmarks design a good engineering curriculum in view of the responsibility to allow
for academic mobility on the European scale,
design a good engineering curriculum in view of the responsibility to prepare
for a professional career on the European scale,
ensure employability after completion of the first cycle based on outcome
assessment,
(In this context a must be stated that according to the overwhelming
majority of expert opinions employability must not be set equal to a
comprehensive engineering education.)

Demands On Professional Mobility
Education – and engineering education in particular – is no longer a national topic but a European one.
The requirements for a sound engineering education must be fulfilled in common. This does by no means call for identical curricula! But ….
What is asked for is:establishing substantial equivalency in Europe!

Types of Accreditation Discussed
Program Accreditation In Germany
System's Accreditation In Austria, Germany, Norway etc.
Program Accreditation On European Scale
Program Accreditation On Global Scale
Technische Universität Berlin
12
Germany
We interpret accreditation as the substitute to the individual governments of the "Länder" in their former responsibility to issue the permit to run a curriculum at an institute of higher education.
This is a quality management process, which has no link to assess “professional qualification” in terms of chartering systems etc.
Technische Universität Berlin
13
Austria, Germany, Norway etc.:System’s Accreditation
This is a process, where the quality management process of the institution plays the governing role, as the "Wissenschaftsrat" has outlined extensively in his publications. This is entirely not compatible with any of the other program approaches.

Quality Management in Teaching
In analogy to: ISO 9000:2005
It usually consists of :
• definition of the quality policy • quality strategy• quality control • quality assurance and • process optimization

Quo Vadis?
Alignment vs Agreement Europe must develop its
own accord and seek mutual global recognition in a second step
System‘s Accreditation can only serve as national amendment and merge into TQM activities

Quo Vadis?
Competence vs PerformanceTeaching intends to
provide competencies
