“…which means that the GAD of sub-objective 1 is 0.812, the GAD of sub-objective 2 is 0.781, and the GAD of sub-objective 3 is 0.763. Based on the value of C i obtained above and the weight of W i (W 1 = 0.5, W 2 = 0.3, and W 3 = 0.2), C is calculated as follows: (5) which means that the GAD of the online cognitive internship course is 0.793.…”

“…The EEA (Engineering Education Accreditation), as a quality assurance mechanism for engineering specialties in colleges and universities, is implemented by the professional institutions and based on certain standards [1,2]. It has been reported that its application brings great benefits for colleges and universities to cultivate undergraduate students [3][4][5][6]. At present, there are mainly four types of EEA used worldwide, including the Washington Accord, the Sydney Accord, the Dublin Accord, and the EUR-ACE [7,8].…”

The Engineering Education Accreditation (EEA) has been adopted in colleges and universities worldwide. As a foundational component of practical teaching, cognitive internship is a focus of EEA, with the offline mode as the common teaching method, while the online mode has been increasingly used in recent years. To meet the requirements of EEA, the effects of the online and offline cognitive internships need to be analyzed and compared. Focusing on the demand, this paper proposes a comprehensive method combining the Goal Achievement Degree (GAD) and CIPP model. The majors of the School of Automotive Transport and Engineering at Wuhan University of Science and Technology (WUST), which include the fields of vehicle engineering, traffic engineering, traffic transport, and logistics engineering, are taken as the example to conduct this research. The main findings of this paper are as follows: (1) Compared with online cognitive internship, offline internship students have a stronger ability to enhance theoretical knowledge and perceive the environment. (2) Utilizing such an online teaching method could be helpful for cultivating students’ analytical skills. (3) From the students’ perspective, the lack of funding for teaching cognitive internships, both online and offline, is the most serious problem. (4) Students perceive that the online cognitive internship helps them to understand knowledge in class and determine career planning, but it does not provide the same effect on those as the offline cognitive internship.

“…At present, the popular EEA types mainly include the Washington Accord, the Sydney Accord, the Dublin Accord and the EUR-ACE (Patil and Codner, 2007;Turhan et al, 2015). These EEA types can improve the engineering education quality and promote the mutual recognition of engineer qualification in different countries (Harrison and Bond, 2012;Kohli, 2014;He, 2016).…”

PurposeThe engineering education accreditation (EEA) is a principal quality assurance mechanism. However, at many education institutions, the most labor-intensive work of EEA process is accomplished manually. Without the support of computer and information technology, the EEA process leads to high labor intensity, low work efficiency and poor management level. The purpose of this paper is to build a complex network model and realize an information management system of talent training program for supporting the EEA process.Design/methodology/approachBased on polychromatic graph (PG), this paper builds a network model of talent training program for engineering specialty. The related information and data are organized and processed in this network model. From the bidirections of top-down and bottom-up, the user requirements are retrieved automatically in logic layer. Together with the specialty of mechanical engineering, the proposed PG-based network modeling method is applied and the corresponding information management system is realized.FindingsThe study results show that the PG-based network modeling method takes full advantages of the strong simulation ability of PG to model the complex network system and has some unique merits in formal expression of problem, efficient processing of information and lightweight realization of system. Further, the information management system of talent training program can reduce the tedious human labor and improve the management level of EEA process dramatically.Originality/valueThis paper proposes a PG-based network modeling method, in which the nodes and the edges can be painted by some unified colors to describe the different kinds of activities and the various types of interactions. Theoretically, this modeling method does not distinguish the activities, the interactions and their properties in graphic symbol and the problem size is diminished about a half. Furthermore, this paper provides an effective experience and idea to the education institutions for implementing the engineering education accreditation, increasing the education management efficiency and promoting the talent training quality.

“…Literature [4] points out that the so-called accreditation is the evaluation procedure to confirm whether an education organization's educational practice can guarantee the achievement of its educational goals according to some widely accepted standards and processes. Compared with traditional education quality evaluation methods, accreditation can not only accurately evaluate the education quality of an education organization, but also promote the education reform and improve the education quality.…”

Abstract-Quality is the lifeline of the education of Master of Engineering. In this paper, the quality problems in the education of Master of Engineering in China are introduced and discussed briefly. Then the Engineering Education Accreditation and its education quality evaluation methods are introduced, and the strengths of these methods are analyzed and summarized. Based on the ideas and evaluation framework of the Engineering Education Accreditation, adopting the merits of Chinese traditional education quality evaluation methods, a multidimensional education quality evaluation system for the Master of Engineering is proposed in the purpose of continuous quality improvement and educational goals achievement. The evaluation system covers educational goals, students ' development, course system, industrial practice, dissertation, supporting conditions and continuous improvement, totally seven dimensions. Student centered cultivation, outcomes-based education, and continuous quality improvement are the core philosophies of the proposed education quality evaluation system.
