Abstract
Advanced industrial countries have always attaches great importance to ensure the quality of engineering, science, and technology education. And they also pay attention to promote international exchange and cooperation.
Due to the changes of the domestic industry, as well as international competition, to establish an engineering and technology education certification system is the road we must take. Institute of Engineering Education Taiwan (IEET) is therefore established to perform this important task. Institute of Engineering Education Taiwan (IEET) is a non-government and nonprofit academic entity. It is the first professional institution legally authorized by Taiwan Ministry of Education for accrediting university engineering programs.
Through this research, the problems were grouped into 4 categories. They are: 1. Procedure of certification, 2. Norms of certification, 3. Standards of the results, and 4. other related issues.
This study focused on finding out the deficiencies of the current accreditation system that ensures the quality and consistency of engineering education. Methods of literature review, expert interviews and observations of accreditation site visit were used to determine the critical issues with which civil engineering education certifications system in Taiwan is facing, the difficulties are encountered and potential solutions. And by means of the statistics of the questionnaire, in-depth to explore the severity of each problem, the degree of difficulty, and possible solutions.
