Abstract

The accreditation review against engineering technological education just started in 2010. This study was conducted to get the significant implications for the accreditation of engineering technological education in Korea from the case of USA and Australia which have reviewed the engineering programs for long time. We can identify some differences between three countries. We suggested the three implications for ABEEK. First, ABEEEK needs to provide the definite graduates attributes to achieve. In that point, Stage 1 competency standard of Australia can be a good example which provide competency elements and indicators of attainment as well. Second, ABEEK needs to consult the course-embbeded evaluation for programs to check whether graduates achieve the graduates attributes. Third, ABEEK needs to benchmark the cases of USA and Australia to alleviate the paperwork load.
