摘要

贡献:本研究以厄瓜多尔一所公立理工大学的课程为案例,探讨了行业成员对发展中国家基于 ABET 的认证的看法。背景:工程专业经常寻求国际认证,以提高教育质量、与全球标准接轨或赢得学术声誉。基于 ABET 的认证源自美国,因此给发展中国家的院校带来了一些挑战。预期成果:本研究旨在从行业成员的角度调查国际学术认证的意义。研究的重点是确定雇主所看重的基本能力,旨在为处于类似情况下的院校提供启示。应用设计:研究采用了定性方法,对厄瓜多尔一所高等院校工程专业咨询委员会的五位业内人士进行了深入访谈。研究结果研究结果表明,业界成员重视三个主要方面的能力:团队合作的沟通技巧、解决问题的导向以及有效规划任务的能力。研究还表明,这些行业成员重视国际认证,认为这是提高教育质量、确保毕业生掌握必要技能和能力的一种手段,但他们对国际认证的整体认识仍然相对较低。

Industry Members’ Perceptions About ABET-Based Accreditation: An Exploratory Study in a Developing Country
Contribution: This study explores industry members’ perceptions about the ABET-based accreditation in a developing country, using the case study of a program in a publicly funded polytechnic university in Ecuador. Background: Engineering programs often seek international accreditations to enhance the education quality, align with the global standards or gain academic reputation. ABET-based accreditation originates in United States, and thus presents some challenges for institutions in developing countries. Intended Outcomes: This study aimed to investigate the significance of international academic accreditation, as seen through the perspective of industry members. It focused on identifying fundamental competencies valued by employers and aimed to provide insights for institutions in similar contexts. Application Design: The research employed an approach informed by a qualitative methodology, involving in-depth interviews with five industry members who had served on the advisory committee board of an engineering program from a higher education institution in Ecuador. Findings: The findings identified three main areas of competencies that the industry members value: communication skills for teamwork, a problem-solving orientation, and an ability for effective task planning. The study also showed that these industry members value international accreditation as a means for enhancing education quality and ensuring graduates develop the necessary skills and competencies, yet the overall awareness with their peers remains relatively low.

期刊介绍: The IEEE Transactions on Education (ToE) publishes significant and original scholarly contributions to education in electrical and electronics engineering, computer engineering, computer science, and other fields within the scope of interest of IEEE. Contributions must address discovery, integration, and/or application of knowledge in education in these fields. Articles must support contributions and assertions with compelling evidence and provide explicit, transparent descriptions of the processes through which the evidence is collected, analyzed, and interpreted. While characteristics of compelling evidence cannot be described to address every conceivable situation, generally assessment of the work being reported must go beyond student self-report and attitudinal data.
