First Time

The aims of the paper are to share and analyze engineering accreditation experience starting from the preparation through the outcome, and to discuss lessons learned particularly for first-time applicants. Securing accreditation from a well-recognized international body, such as the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) can indicate quality of an engineering program. To qualify for an accreditation up to six- to seven-year period, an engineering program must meet a set of accreditation standards or criteria. The article is not limited only for new engineering programs outside the United States who are willing to pursue engineering accreditation from ABET, but it is applicable for an existing accredited program who will undergo next accreditation cycle. The authors presented and analyzed detail accreditation experience for a new established Civil Engineering (CE) Program at Prince Mohammad bin Fahd University (PMU) in Saudi Arabia. Although the ABET website provides detail procedure for the accreditation steps, the detail cases experienced by the PMU CE program will enrich knowledge on how to prepare and handle successful international accreditation. The authors also discussed issues raised during the accreditation activities, including program compliance with the nine ABET criteria, and presented key lessons to prepare for a smooth accreditation process. The main significant result of the accreditation exercise about continuous improvement was summarized in term of the curriculum upgrade, including adding another semester for senior design course and offering new sustainability engineering course, and adding computer aided design course at the early semester.

Research And Design

Each year of the Biomedical Engineering program at the University of Harford includes courses that include student based research projects. The Freshman course “Introduction to Engineering” course includes projects requiring the designing, building and testing of devices (including statistical analysis and in-class presentations). During the Sophomore year, “Biomedical Materials” includes multiple journal-style laboratory reports. During the Junior year, “Biomechanics” includes student research projects (including such issues as reproducibility and accounting for human variances), and “Biofluids” includes a research paper. The senior year course, “Bioinstrumentation”, includes projects monitoring physiological parameters. The senior year also includes two sets of research and design-based courses: two courses in senior design pursuing research for outside principals, and an off-campus research course where the student performs as the engineer on a research project. The former course culminates in a formal oral and written presentation. The latter course allows students to work at local, regional, and national medical facilities, and to participate in clinically useful research. Our philosophy for these courses has been both to involve the student in the requirements and needs of pursuing research, and to prepare them for the expectations of those who will be reviewing their efforts after they graduate.
