Developments in Engineering Education Standards: Advanced Curriculum Innovations

Engineering education methods and standards are important features of engineering programs that should be carefully designed both to provide students and stakeholders with valuable, active, integrated learning experiences, and to provide a vehicle for assessing program outcomes. With the driving force of the globalization of the engineering profession, standards should be developed for mutual recognition of engineering education across the world, which is proving difficult to achieve.

Developments in Engineering Education Standards: Advanced Curriculum Innovations will address engineering educations standards for the development of models for engineering education standards, and a widely acceptable approach to the curriculum design and development. The reference is composed of academics, professionals, researchers, and students working in the area of engineering education.

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

• Assessment practices and methodologies in learning and teaching, and pedagogical aspects of engineering education
• Case studies in engineering education standards, both in developing and developed countries
• Education standards, quality assurance and globalization of engineering programs
• Graduate attributes, competencies and skills in engineering education
• Industry and University interaction for the quality improvement in engineering education and program development
• International recognition of standards of engineering education
• Outcomes and competency based engineering program and education
• Project based learning and teaching of engineering programs
• Surveys to improve quality of engineering education
