TLDR
In this article, the authors describe and compare the different approaches of seven Canadian institutions to the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) requirements for continuous quality improvement using graduate attributes.Abstract:
This paper describes and compares the different approaches of seven Canadian institutions to the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) requirements for continuous quality improvement using graduate attributes. Program approaches are compared by: program objectives & management, indicators, curriculum mapping, assessment & data collection and curriculum improvement. The significant differences include approaches to curriculum mapping, data collection and curriculum improvement.read more

Do global norms matter? The new logics of engineering accreditation in Canadian universities
Mike Klassen,Creso Sá +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how changing logics of accreditation influence the academic organization of engineering schools in Canada, and they show how regulative and normative institutional pressures influence decisions by engineering schools to take visible action to demonstrate their conformity to global norms, while still pursuing local missions.
