Framing: Evolution of Accreditation• Designing the long-term solution
– Quality at least equal, likely better– Flexibility – changing educational landscape– Global best practices– Efficiency and certainty – for all
• Implementing the short-term solution– Quality at least equal, better if possible– Flexibility, efficiency and certainty

Guiding Principles• the purpose of accreditation will be maintained • goal is to improve quality of engineering degrees and their
value to students and society• engineering programs will continue to be 4 years / 8
semesters (or equivalent) • core engineering curriculum (math, natural science,
engineering science, engineering design, complementary studies) and requirement for licensure of certain faculty will remain unchanged

Short-Term Issues• educational approaches and best practices are changing rapidly• need for better flexibility in educational innovation, alternative forms
of program delivery, and renewal of curriculum to achieve graduate attributes
• preparation effort for both AB visitors and HEI hosts are unsustainable, mainly due to introduction of graduate attributes criteria without any significant simplification of the other criteria (e.g. curriculum content)
• cannot await the "perfect" long-term solution: need to implement an “acceptable" short-term solution to address some or all of the above

The Way Forward• remove overall total of 1950 AU; keep core requirement of
1545 AU (amend criteria 3.4.2)• additional curriculum content to satisfy intent of Interpretive
Statement on Minimum Program Content• programs will be required to be a minimum of 4 years / 8
semesters at a university level or equivalent (amend criteria 3.4.6)
• majority of AB and NCDEAS are in agreement … but listening carefully to concerned colleagues
