Professional certification of engineering education is an internationally accepted quality assurance system of engineering education, and it is also an important basis for realizing international mutual recognition of engineering education and engineer qualifications. The core of engineering education professional certification is to confirm that engineering graduates meet the established quality standards recognized by the industry.
It is a qualification evaluation oriented to training objectives and graduation export requirements. The professional certification of engineering education requires that the curriculum system, the allocation of teachers and the allocation of school-running conditions all focus on the core task of students' graduation ability, emphasizing the establishment of professional continuous improvement mechanism and culture to ensure the quality and vitality of professional education.
The idea of professional certification of engineering education
1, student-centered
Pay attention to the learning effect of all students. The educational goal revolves around the cultivation of students, the teaching design focuses on the cultivation of students' ability, teachers and educational resources meet the achievement of students' learning effect, and the focus of teaching evaluation is the evaluation of students' effect. Student-centered, not with a few outstanding students as the center, nor with most students as the center, but with all students as the center, that is, by evaluating the achievement of all students' academic achievements to evaluate the effectiveness of running a professional school.
2. Output-oriented education
The goal of teaching design and teaching implementation is the learning achievement that students finally get through the educational process. The traditional teaching design is curriculum-oriented, from general basic courses, subject basic courses, professional basic courses to professional courses. As long as the teacher finishes teaching the course and the students pass the exams in each course, they will meet the graduation requirements.
3. Continuous improvement of quality
Establish a closed loop of "evaluation-feedback-improvement" to form a mechanism for continuous quality improvement. At present, there are many evaluations, appraisals and inspections aimed at improving teaching. Because it is not operational, it is mostly the basis of reward and grading. The quality culture of continuous improvement proposed by the professional certification of engineering education includes: establishing a normal evaluation mechanism and constantly improving it.
It is necessary to evaluate the training objectives, graduation requirements and teaching links; Every teacher is responsible for continuous improvement; The effect of continuous improvement is reflected by students' performance. Continuous improvement provides us with an operable evaluation method, telling us that the only purpose of evaluation is improvement.
