CRITERIA AND PROCEDUREFOR ACCREDITING PROGRAMMES IN ENGINEERING

AND TECHNOLOGY

These criteria correspond with the Bologna follow-up activities and distinguish between programmes of the First and Second Cycles. The term "Cycle" is used to describe a study programme leading to an academic degree. In Russia the first cycle refers to bachelorbachelor programmes, while the second cycle encompasses both mastermaster and diplomadiploma specialistspecialist programmes.

A. Knowledge and Understanding (FC MEng)Learning Outcomes:A1 An advanced knowledge of a broad range of modelling methodologies…A2 Knowledge of fundamental design issues relevant to mechanical …A3, A4, A5, A6, A7…Teaching Strategy/MethodsThe main mechanism for imparting the above knowledge and understanding in A1-A6 is lectures, combined with tutorials, examples classes, activities and coursework. Design labs and CAD sessions are used for A2, whilst computer labs form part of the teaching methods for some of the numerically orientated option modules (A4)….Learning Strategy/MethodsStudents are required to support and reinforce lecture based knowledge transfer through private study, making use of recommended texts and web-based material. Tutorials allow lecture material to be discussed and supplemented…Assessment Strategy/MethodsFormative assessment of student progress on taught modules is affected through the use tutorial exercises and coursework in the form of written answers to set exercises and/or case-study reports…


On-Campus Evaluation. How to plan & how to run

«The place and time cannot be changed»


1. To assess in qualitative and quantitative terms those factors that can not be documented in a written questionnaire;

2. To scrutinize documentation presented by the University for accreditation;

3. To provide the University with the assessment of its strong points and shortcomings.
