What is accreditation?
• Accreditation is external quality assurance that an
institution or university program meets the
quality standards established by organizations
representing the academic community,
professionals, for which it prepares its students.
What is a standard/criteria?
• The standard/criteria for ABET, ASIIN and AUN-QA is
outcome based. It focuses on what the students have
learned or what they can actually do.
• The Standard/Criteria is set by:
• Professional (ABET)
• Technical university, University of Applied Sciences, Technical
and Scientific Professionals and Federation of Employers
(ASIIN)
• AUN-QA
• It requires the programs to:
• Define their own objectives and outcomes
• Measure their performance.
• Introduce program improvement where appropriate.
Why is accreditation important?
• Maintain high standards of quality in their fields of study and
compete with similar private and governmental institute in the
area.
• Establish national and international recognition of expected
graduate qualifications.
• Assure that graduates are adequately prepared to enter and
continue the practice of engineering
• Provide potential students a quality education which will lead
to a wide range of job mobility
• Identify accredited programs to the public
• Provide cost effective means of impartial feedback on program
assessment and development
• Motivate regular comprehensive review of programs by
institutions creating an expectation of continuous
improvement.
What are the benefits of
accreditation?
• Student choosing an educational program
• Parents seeking assurance of a quality education
• Institutions program’s strengths and weaknesses and
of ways to improve their education
• Employers recruiting well-prepared graduates to
begin professional practice
• Industry seeking to voice educational needs to
institutions
• Government and partners and public that their funds
are spend well
• Consideration for admission for excellent graduate
programs worldwide
How does a degree program get
accredited?
• The degree program must:
• meet general criteria and specific/program
• demonstrate that it uses a continual process of
evaluating the courses and curricula.
• makes curricula changes when needed
• show that it examines and improves its own
evaluation process.
How is program evaluation
done?
• The Program must prepare Self-Study Report:
• Provide detailed information on all aspects of the
program
• Qualitative and Quantitative assessment of the
strengths and limitations of the program
• The assessment should include
• the achievement of institutional and program
educational objectives
• assessment of outcome-competencies
• involve broad and appropriate groups in its
preparation and process
Continuous improvement: the
heart of accreditation
• Establish purpose (mission statement) and set
goals (timeline)
• Define/refine program educational objectives and
student outcomes
• Design and conduct assessments
• Evaluate assessment findings
• Use results for decision making
What is ABET?
• Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology
• Accreditor for degree program in the disciplines
of applied science, computing, engineering and
engineering technology at the bachelor and
master degree levels.
• Four commission:
• Applied Science Accreditation Commission (ASAC)
• Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC)
• Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC)
• Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission
(ETAC)
Program eligibility requirements
• ABET accredits programs only—not departments,
colleges, institutions, or individuals.
• Program is an integrated, organized experience
that culminates in the awarding of a degree.
• The program will have program educational
objectives, student outcomes, a curriculum, faculty,
and facilities
• ABET accredit programs offered by degreegranting institutions with verifiable and
recognized governmental, national, or regional
authority to confer degrees
• Programs requesting an initial accreditation
review must have at least one graduate prior to
the academic year when the on-site review
occurs.
• Be accreditable under at least one abet
accreditation commission
• ABET require a preliminary Self-Study Report
from all programs seeking initial accreditation, if
the institution has no currently ABET-accredited
programs in that same commission.
Accreditation step by step (1)
• Step 1: Complete the Readiness Review by
November 1
• Step 2: Submit your Request for Evaluation and
Request for Approval by January 31
• Step 3: Complete and submit your Self-Study
Report by July 1
• Step 4: The On-Site Visit takes place September –
December
Accreditation step by step (2)
• Step 5: Due Process and the Accreditation Decision
• 1 Week After the Visit: Provide the review team with any
errors of fact resulting from the exit meeting.
• 2-3 months after the visit: Your institution receives the Draft
Statement, a formal communication of your review team’s
findings.
• 3-4 months after the visit: During the 30-Day Due Process
period your institution responds to any shortcomings
identified in the Draft Statement
• July: The ABET commissions meet to decide Accreditation
Actions.
• By August 31:Your program is formally notified of the

What is the procedure of
accreditation?
Initiation of the
Accreditation Process
• University is asked to turn in the Accreditation
Request
• Discussion in ASIIN‘s Technical Committee(s)
• University will receive tender letter (including
benefits, price and a proposed timeline)
Preparing the Self-Assessment
• Self assessment report must be compiled by the
university
• It should be based on the internal QA-system
• Compilation takes 6-12 months to prepare
• University staff (administrative and academic)
needs to contribute content
• Preparation and discussion of the draft of the self
assessment based on: General Criteria + SubjectSpecific Criteria
The on-site visit
• Standard team for initial accreditation:
• 4 ASIIN peers, representatives from
• Technical Universities or Universities (more research oriented; 1-2
peers)
• Universities of Applied Sciences (1-2 peers)
• Industry (1 peer)
• Discussion with representatives of institution‘s
administration
• Discussion with professors responsible for the
development of the program
The on-site visit
• Discussion with academic staff
• Discussion with students/alumni/ representatives
of industry
• Review of exams (written, final, projects…)
• Visitation of the institution
(laboratories, library, …)
• Final internal discussion of auditors
• Final meeting with institution‘s representatives
After the on-site visit
• Audit and production of auditor report (2 weeks)
• Comments by university (submission of additional
information material, if required ) (4 weeks)
• Final recommendation by the auditors (1 week)
• Discussion in relevant Technical Committee(s)
(4 weeks)
• Discussion in the Accreditation Commission
Decision and conclusion (2 weeks)
The accreditation decision:
Possible outcomes
• Accreditation without reservation: Accreditation
valid for five years.
• Conditional accreditation with requirements and
recommendations:
• Accreditation initially limited to one year, extended to a
total of five years after fulfillment of the requirements.
• Suspension of the accreditation process: With
conditions, for up to 18 months
• The process will be taken up again after the conditions
have been met.
• Rejection
Recommendations
• …identify issues that require medium- to longterm efforts for further improvement; for
example completing the quality assurance system.
• …should have been implemented before the next
accreditation visit; if not, explicit justification is
required.
• …are not merely „suggestions“, but may lead to
stronger sanctions in the future.
Requirements
• …identify issues that require immediate efforts
for further improvement; for example completing
the module handbook or improving single
modules/courses.
• …must be demonstrated to have been
implemented within ca. nine months after the
accreditation decision.
• …often require efforts by the entire academic
staff – plan with enough time for discussion and
implementation.
Suspension - Conditions
• The accreditation process can be suspended, if the degree
programs in question require substantial improvement
before an accreditation decision can be reached (i.e.
formulating coherent objectives and learning outcomes
on all levels, major curricular changes, completion of
infrastructure).
• Suspension requires a decision by the accreditation
commission.
Comments and suggestions
• The accreditation report may contain further comments,
suggestions and examples of good practice.
• These items will not be of immediate relevance for the
accreditation decision, but may be useful for further
quality improvement
Follow-up should include a concentrated review
(“information mining”) of the accreditation report and
the entire process – maximise the utility of the peer
review principle
Financial Framework
• ASIIN e.V. is a non-profit organisation
• Costs depend on:
• Number of peers (travelling, accommodation and
subsistence)
• Number of programs to be accredited
• Duration of audit
• Typical 1 cluster (3 programs)~US$ 5,300/program
Accreditation of degree programs
based outside of Germany
• The content-related core of the ASIIN General
Criteria is decisive for the award of the ASIIN
quality seal, irrespective of the country the
organisation applying for accreditation is located
in.
• Those parts of the ASIIN General Criteria related
to the implementation of specific national and
regional structural features and legal provisions
may not be applied in other countries or regions.
This element is adapted to national or regional
standards.
ASIIN’s approach to assessment
• Definition of goals:
• For each programme, the main focus lies on the learning outcomes
that should be achieved by students during their studies.
• The overall learning outcomes aimed at in the programme must be
rigorously collated with the goals of the learning outcomes of the
individual modules in the programme.
• Implementation:
• The measures, instruments and resources which are the product of
the supporting or organisational processes of a higher education
institution that it invests in the implementation of a programme
(input) in order to attain the defined goals (outcome).
• Further development and checking results:
• The institution’s internal quality assurance process is considered at
this juncture;
• Feedback mechanisms should lead to continuous improvements in
the programme.
