What is Accreditation
� Formal recognition of the quality of an educational program / Institution by an external - independent agency on the basis of impartialthe basis of impartialassessment on the basis of well defined criteria
Significance of Accreditation
� At National Level � Students and parents to select the institutions and programs for
admission.� Employers in deciding about the institutions for recruitment of
graduates.� Institutions to avail the benefits from regulatory bodies and funding
agencies institutions.agencies institutions.� Institutions in deciding about transfer of students from other institutions
� At International Level� Mobility of students for pursuing higher studies and employment in
other countries
Growing number of institutes , types (univ, deemed, private, autonomous, affiliated …) and programs
Advantages of Accreditation & Its Processes
� Students get quality education and better employment opportunity.
� Alumni share their experience and participate in curricular updates in view of emerging technology and tools.
� Development of faculty benefits of realization of efforts, opportunity of attempting more complex problems, career advancement, consultancy & sponsored R&Dsponsored R&D
� Exchange of views – opportunities supplement each other requirement.� Employer in industry / academia/ public services get well grounded practice
engineers with requisite technical and behavioral skills / graduate attributes.� Institution builds up a Brand.� Continuous improvement towards excellence.
Global Mobility upon Accreditation
� Graduation from an accredited program is Educational Passport for engineers mobility across good number of advanced nations and emerging economies.
� These graduates may get leadership positions and challenging technology development opportunities. technology development opportunities.
� Faculty may also get invitation for lectures, research guidance, and academic leadership / administration.
� Industry can hire graduates from accredited institutions for innovation-intensive projects for higher profits.
How global mobility is assured ??
� Multi-national accords for mutual recognition of accrediting process and there by recognizing the accreditation.� Washington Accord, 1989
• For UG Engineering Degree program
� Sydney Accord, 2001• For Engineering Diploma / Polytechnic program• For Engineering Diploma / Polytechnic program
� Dublin Accord, 2002• For Engineering Technician program
� Seoul Accord, 2008• For Professional Engineers in computing and IT – related fields
Washington Accord�An accord singed among six countries (Australia,
Canada, Ireland, New Zealand , United Kingdom andUnited States) in the year 1989.
�The purpose was to mutually recognize and acceptthe qualifications accredited by signatories.
III-A
�The accord at present has 15 full signatories and 5provisional signatories.
�Members of Washington Accord have outcomebased accreditation.
9
�All members accept the defined GraduateAttributes.
�Washington Accord is applicable only for UGEngineering Programmes.
�If India wants to reap the benefits of its largehuman resource and to become knowledgehuman resource and to become knowledgesociety and global supplier of trained HR – it ismust to be a full signatory of Washington Accord- Countries like Australia have a demand forEngineers.

Who does accreditation in India
� Institutional accreditation by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC)
• An autonomous body established by the UGC in 1994
� Technical Programs� Technical Programs� A totally independent body � National Board of Accreditation (NBA)
• Diploma level to Post Graduate level in Engineering and Technology, Management, Architecture, Pharmacy, Hospitality and Mass Communication
NBA – A brief history
� The National Board of Accreditation (NBA) was set up by the AICTE in Sept 1994 and became independent body in 2010
� 1994-2003 first format was put in use
� 1st Revision - Jan 2004
� 2nd Revision - Jan 2009� 2nd Revision - Jan 2009

Accreditation Models
� Minimal Model� Often numeric and law-based� Provides a prescription for a minimal core and very general parameters for the
rest of the curriculum� Does not encourage continuous improvement
� Input-Output Model� Often involving direct prescriptions of curriculum and faculty composition� Often involving direct prescriptions of curriculum and faculty composition� Makes the accrediting process uniform and potentially fair� Relatively easy to maintain� Stifle innovation and creativity in the curriculum
� Outcome Model� Focuses on the objectives and outcomes of the program� Requires evidence of measurement and attainment of objectives and outcomes� Too much data may be collected and analyzed periodically

� Mission statements are essentially the means to achieve the vision� For example,
� Vision: Create high-quality engineering professionals� Mission: offer a well-balanced programme of instruction,
practical experience, and opportunities for overall personality development.
28
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
� Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparing the graduates to achieve.
�Guidelines for the PEOs
� PEOs should be consistent with the mission of the Institution � PEOs should be consistent with the mission of the Institution � The number of PEOs should be manageable � PEOs should be achievable by the program � PEOs should be specific to the program and not too broad � PEOs should be based on the needs of the
constituencies
29
How to Evolve Program Educational Objectives
A) Consultation - Professional Bodies- Industry - Faculty- Alumni - Parents- Students - Data on future- Management - Data on trends in
development in the profession
II-B (2)
B) - Summary of views during consultationC) - Accepted views - objectivesD) - Identification and designing of courses with defined objectives.
Elective and core courses.E) - Courses to achieve objectives
30
Program Outcomes (POs)
� Program outcomes are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation.
� Guidelines for the POs � Program outcomes basically describe knowledge, skills and behavior of
students as they progress through the program as well as by the time of graduation.graduation.
� POs should not be too broad� They must align with the Graduate Attributes� They must reflect all the Graduate Attributes
31
Course Outcomes (COs)
1. Student-focused, not professor-focusedThat means: learning not coverage-oriented
2. Alignment between course, program, and institutional levelsCourse outcomes need to reflect both the objectives and coutcomes that the academic program represents as well as the broader mission of the institution as a whole
3. Focus on abilities central to the disciplineCourse outcomes should help prepare students for what is important to the discipline ofwhich the course is a part
32
which the course is a part4. Focus on aspects of learning that will endure
Teaching students new modes of thinking is likely to have an impact on their future;having them memorize facts tends to be much more short-lived
5. Are limited to manageable numberLearning outcomes should focus a course on a few (say, 4-6) key purposes that have arealistic chance of being accomplished within a semester
6. Specific enough to be measurable
Most important and fundamental to OBE
Program Specific Criteria
� Program Criteria provide the specificity needed for interpretation of the bachelor level criteria as applicable to a given discipline.
� Requirements stipulated in the Program Criteria are limited to the areas of curricular topics and faculty qualifications/expertise.
