3. School
• A 160 years old public engineering school
– Located in Porto, Portugal
– Students: 6600, teachers: 400, staff: 130
– Accepted as CDIO collaborator in 2008
– In 2013-2014 lectures
• 11 first cycle engineering 3-year programs (bachelor)
• 12 second cycle engineering 2-year programs (master)
– In 2014
• 4 masters and one 1st
cycle already accredited by EUR-ACE
• 6 more programs are being submitted or waiting for results
5. Goals (IE)
• Accreditation and certification
– National accreditation required for public funding
– EUR-ACE® Quality Seal by ENAEE
• 2nd
cycle Informatics Engineering achieved EUR-ACE in 2012
• 1st
cycle Informatics Engineering achieved EUR-ACE in 2013
6. Accreditation in Europe
• “Expected outcomes” based accreditation
– High-level frameworks
• European Qualification Framework (EQF)
• Bologna Process (adopted the Dublin Descriptors)
• Most National/European accreditation agencies
– Engineering frameworks
• CDIO: 12 Standards, Syllabus template
• EUR-ACE: 5 Guidelines, 6 Outcomes, 14 Criteria
• ABET: 8 Criteria, 11 Outcomes
– Area specific frameworks
• ACM Computing Curricula for “Computing”, etc
7. EUR-ACE Experience (IE)
• EUR-ACE process
– Program management writes a self-evaluation report
– Audit team visits the school and program
– Audit team produces an audit report → decision
– How CDIO Standards cover EUR-ACE Guidelines?*

8. CDIO x EUR-ACE – 1. Needs, Objectives and Outcomes
• Program outcomes
– CDIO Syllabus proposes a structured set of outcomes
– EUR-ACE only defines 6 areas for outcomes
• Knowledge and Understanding; Engineering Analysis; Engineering
Design; Research; Engineering Practice; Transferable Skills
• The courses' syllabi should describe contributions to the areas

17. Conclusion
• Future
– Improve Std 9 (Enhancement of Faculty CDIO Skills)
• Enhance faculty professional engineering practice by means of
more industry involvement, consultancy, R&D projects, etc
– Improve Std 10 (Enhancement of Faculty Teaching Skills)
• Introduce and disseminate “Pedagogical Patterns” to enhance
faculty competence in teaching, learning and assessing students
(Joseph Bergin, http://jbergin.com/)
– Threats and risks in south of Europe
• Shortage of students due to demographic problems
• Depletion of engineering graduates due to emigration
