Why you need to study Society

and Engineer

It is required by the accrediting body

In the old days, the accreditation was done byIEE (now it is IET)

IEE in the old days required such a subject(mainly to test the use of English)

After 1997, HKIE became the accreditation body

in HK In UK, no such subject in the engineering

curriculum ??!!

Washington Accord

Principles of Good Practice for Washington Accord

Signatories Working Internationally (Approved June 2001)

Purpose:

These principles are intended to provide a generally acceptedframework for undertaking reviews in countries that are notsignatories of the Washington Accord.

They are intended to

strengthen the international stature of the Washington Accord

Agreement, strengthen the working relationship among Washington Accord

Signatories and international quality assurance agencies, and

encourage and enhance ongoing cooperation and communication.


38/55


Washington Accord

Principle 1. Considerations for Washington Accord

Signatories When Determining to Undertake Quality

Assurance Evaluations in Another Country not a

member of the Accord

Washington Accord Signatorieswill:

Affirm their organizational capacity to undertake a review

(e.g., language, trained staff and evaluators, budget,

experience, basic information about the country);

Clarify the relationship of international review activity to

the priorities of the accrediting organization;


39/55


Washington Accord

Communicate with other Washington Accordsignatories about international review activity;

Promulgate a clear statement of the scope of the

evaluation and the use of the recognition status byan institution or program in another country,especially with regard to transfer of credit anddegree and qualifications equivalency;

Assure clear understanding of the relationship ofthe review to any international agreements thataddress quality assurance.


40/55


Washington Accord

Principle 2. Expectations for Conduct of

Evaluation Reviews Abroad

Washington Accord Signatories will:Inform national quality assurance agencies in countries

where reviews are undertaken and, where appropriate,

seek information, guidance, and concurrence from these

agencies; Communicate with rectors and other college and university

officials at institutions where they are conducting reviews;


41/55


Washington Accord

Assure that staff and evaluators are adequately

informed about higher education and quality

assurance in the countries in which they are

conducting reviews to preclude the appearance ofcultural insensitivity;

Communicate fully and clearly about costs and

currencies associated with a review.


42/55


Washington Accord

Principle 3. Quality Assurance of Online and Web-based Instruction and programs

Washington Accord Signatories will: Work as closely as possible with their institutional and

programmatic exporters of online and web-basededucation to assure quality as offerings are made availablein a variety of countries, especially when the offeringsinvolve instructional strategies that are unfamiliar to thehost country;

Urge that these exporters review language, literacy andstudy skills levels of the target audience for these offerings,

preparing separate or supplemental material to meetspecial needs if appropriate.


43/55


Washington Accord

Principle 4. Responsibilities to Students andColleagues

Washington Accord Signatories will:

Work with the appropriate agencies in non-signatorycountries to provide the most comprehensive and accurateinformation available about educational services and

programs to avoid the export of diplomas of questionablequality offered for a fee;

Develop, in coordination with international colleagues, theappropriate protocol to assist non-signatory countries inreviewing educational imports from questionable

provenance.

What is IEEE?

IEEE (US) = HKIE (HK) ?????

IEEE a learned society ( a social clubofengineers!!!)

IEEEis more than social

A learned society is an organization that exists to promote

an academic discipline or group of disciplines. Membership may

be open to all, may require possession of some qualification, ormay be an honor conferred by election

IEEE- WHAT A PROFESSION IS Has a body of knowledge

required to be acquired and maintained by the practitioner The authority to practice

is granted, upheld and enforced by an authorizing body There is a society to which the individual belongs

which promotes his/her practice field in common interests with others andstrives to support their practice

There is a Code of Ethicsto be complied with Has a strong sense of public service

with the obligation to practice in their best interests of protecting their health,safety and welfare

Practitioner is highly skilled in the services rendered

Practitioner is compensated for the services rendered

Practitioner functions with authorityand exercises responsible, independent judgment in the application of

his/her knowledge and skills Practitioner achieves recognition

and acquires esteem from the public, client, or employer and peers


47/55


IEEE - WHAT A PROFESSIONAL IS

One engaged in a profession, characterized by or conforming to the technical orethical standards of a profession.

High Academic StandardsHaving knowledge and skill not possessed by thegeneral public (for example, high levels of technical competence)

Continual Renewal of KnowledgeStaying abreast of developments throughjournals, publications, conferences, and seminars

Service for SocietyPerforming services that affect the public health, safety,and welfare (beneficial application of technical competence)

IEEE - WHAT PROFESSIONALISM IS

Has to do with how engineers practice and conduct them-selves in their work and as individuals in society. Further, it includes the way their clients/employers award

them for their work. Further, it includes the recognition bestowed upon them

by society as a result of the contributions they make tosociety from the results of applying their specialscientific knowledge in engineering products for thepublic to use.

Professionalism is the conduct that characterizes ormarks a profession or professional person.

Buried somewherein the notion of professionalism areethics or honest practice. Other attributes are a job well done, a concern for public

approbation, and the need for group action to protectengineers rights.
