Accreditation of Ajou’s engineering education is extended to 2020

[16.10.14]


Nine programs offered by the College of Engineering and the College of Information Technology under Ajou University received accreditation, effective through February 2020, from the Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea (ABEEK). The accreditation is the result of the mid-term evaluation by ABEEK that is required within three years from the regular accreditation that was conducted in 2013.


Those that were accredited are six programs available in the College of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Civil System Engineering, and Architectural Engineering), and three programs available in the College of Information Technology (Electrical and Computer Engineering, Information and Computer Engineering, and Software Convergence Technology). The certification guarantees the quality of engineering education through the evaluation of eight categories, including educational objectives, the assessment of achievements in learning, curriculum, students, faculty, the educational environment, and educational improvement. Students who graduate from the accredited programs are recognized as international engineering experts and their academic abilities are considered at the same level as local university graduates in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada, etc. In addition, the graduates are eligible to take the Professional Engineer Test.


Director Sang Duk Lee from the Engineering Education Innovation Center under the University said, “I believe that the accreditation of Ajou's engineering education has been established since the University has continually been certified since 2005. From this point, we will strive to gain the advanced, customized, and global standard certification of Ajou’s engineering education by further developing design-related education, instead of simply settling for resting on our achievements so far."
