Can we match formal procedures for quality assurance with the creativity and individuality that defines honours? In a session at the Utrecht Honours Conference 2016: Honours Futures we discussed experiences in quality assurance of honours programmes in the United States of America, the Netherlands and Belgium. To illustrate the possibilities, a case study of using an external audit for honours education and two case studies of the use of internal quality assurance tools in an honours programme were presented. It is concluded that a form of quality assurance is needed to continuously improve. So honours educators must at least care for internal quality control. Student involvement is stimulating for the engagement of all participants in the process of quality control. Internal quality control may result in an annual report. Annual reports can be used both internally and in external quality control.

Internal Quality Assurance

Academic quality is defined as the equivalent to academic standards related to student learning outcomes, which consist of specific levels of knowledge, skills, and abilities achieved by students participating in a program. The achievement of academic standards is accommodated by implementing both internal and external quality assurance practices. Internal quality assurance refers to policies and practices used by the higher education institutions to monitor and improve the quality of their education, while external quality assurance refers to policies and practices set up by external parties to assure the quality of higher education institutions and programs. Petra Christian University has built and implemented its internal quality assurance since 2009 based on its unique quality culture. After its ten-year journey and the achievements that Petra Christian University has reached in 2019, the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0 are challenges ahead that Petra Christian University has to face.

According to the requirement of 20CrMnTiH steel, the effects of casting peed, EMS current intensity and secondary cooling system on internal quality of billets are studied. The results show that, it is beneficial to internal quality control of 20CrMnTiH billets when the casting speed is in the range of 1.2~1.4m/min, and when the current intensity of EMS is 380A, the level of center porosity can be controlled in 1.0, the index of carbon segregation can be controlled in 1.08 and equiax crystal ratio reaches 34.9%. Furthermore, it is beneficial to internal quality improvement when weak secondary cooling system is adopted. With the application of the studies, the quality of billet macrostructure and hardenability can meet the requirement of 20CrMnTiH steel.
