Abstract

Engineering education accreditation provides omnibearing quality control standards and mechanisms for the university engineering specialties, and hence has been widely applied. The engineering education accreditation in China adopts comprehensive, reasonable and operable graduate attributes that are substantially equivalent to the graduate attributes proposed by the Washington Accord. The problem comes from the fact that the same specialties of different universities use almost the same statements for the graduate attributes, which, although the effectiveness of quality control, will diminish the specialty characteristics. Aiming at this problem, four measures are proposed in this paper to strengthen the specialty characteristics. These measures relate to the training target setting, the statements for graduate attributes, the construction of curricula system and unequal weights setting for different graduate attributes.
