Abstract
Accreditation of chemical engineering degrees remains an important tool for IChemE in providing efficient and robust routes to membership for the majority of its applicants. It is likely that the required criteria for programmes will continue to evolve to reflect the needs of the various stakeholders – students and universities, members of IChemE, employers of chemical engineering graduates, and wider society. Accreditation processes will also continue to adapt as institutions seek to balance the conflicting priorities of combating climate change with operating robust assessment processes.
期刊介绍:
Education for Chemical Engineers was launched in 2006 with a remit to publisheducation research papers, resource reviews and teaching and learning notes. ECE is targeted at chemical engineering academics and educators, discussing the ongoingchanges and development in chemical engineering education. This international title publishes papers from around the world, creating a global network of chemical engineering academics. Papers demonstrating how educational research results can be applied to chemical engineering education are particularly welcome, as are the accounts of research work that brings new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating direction for future research relevant to chemical engineering education. Core topic areas: -Assessment- Accreditation- Curriculum development and transformation- Design- Diversity- Distance education-- E-learning Entrepreneurship programs- Industry-academic linkages- Benchmarking- Lifelong learning- Multidisciplinary programs- Outreach from kindergarten to high school programs- Student recruitment and retention and transition programs- New technology- Problem-based learning- Social responsibility and professionalism- Teamwork- Web-based learning
