The Design and Implementation of an Engineering Education Accreditation Aided Management System

Engineering Education Accreditation has been widely accepted and recognized by most engineering colleges all over the world based on the idea of Outcome Based Education (OBE). However, current implementation and management methods are of low efficiency and heavy workload. The procedure of engineering education accreditation should not be a temporary or assault work, while it should be periodic and continuous along with regular teaching works. Based on modern information management technology, an assistant information management system is requisite in the procedure of engineering education accreditation. An Engineering Education Accreditation Aided Management System (EEAAMS) has been designed and implemented based on our experience of Engineering Education Accreditation. The paper presents the functional requirement analysis, system architecture construct, operational workflow design and technical implementation plan of this system. And we hope it can play a useful role in the improvement and progress of engineering education.
