What is Quality?
Who should it be done for?
What can be done?...
The product is the best combination
of price and features
What should be done?...
The product has something
that other similar products do
not have that add value
Meets customer/learners satisfaction
What is
Quality?
How should
it be done?...
Conforming to design,
specifications, or
requirements.
Having no defects
Quality: A self-sustaining relationship between management, staff
and students that leads to all students realising their potential.

What is
Quality Assurance?
- A process which stipulates how a production (service)
should take place and to what standards
- A process which guarantees customers that a product
(service) will meet standards consistently (Roger Ellis)
- Prevention of problems through planned and systematic
activities (John S. Oakland)
- Doing the right things right

Tweak existing activities, especially at basic-level to continue to pique
student interests in the field; review advanced-level assessment scheme
to integrate design thinking, ethics, SD, etc
3
Continue to seek management support for new workspace – this is
perhaps the most challenging part of the continuous improvement process
yet; review and rationalize existing space

Proposed Action Plan
Review if possible to use same case study/scenario for different
modules, and built on prior learning in earlier modules
Enhance learning experience via out-of-classroom activities during
education of sustainable development using “appropriate technology”
To expand into tutorials with more discussion, role play or
presentation; and lectures for example by using Concept Questions,
or Think-Pair-Share, etc
Conduct training needs analysis; identify training opportunities for
lecturers to undergo training related to teaching and assessing new
skills, e.g. reflective practice, lifelong learning, ethics, etc

Explore how to assess transferability of knowledge and skills across
modules and year of study

Accreditation
CDIO Asian Regional Meeting and Workshop on Engineering Education and Policies for Regional Leaders
IChemE UK Accreditation Guidance Revision: (Mar 08)
“Decisions on whether a programme is accredited, and at what
level, will be taken solely on the basis of achievement of learning
outcomes against defined standards.”
“The learning outcomes specified in this Guidance comprise a
package which is distinctive to chemical engineering, and which
can be regarded as a minimum necessary requirement for
IChemE accreditation.”
Six Focus Areas:
(1) Maths & Science, (2) Core Chemical Engineering, (3) Engineering Practice,
(4) Design & Design Practice, (5) Embedded Learning (Sustainability & SHE),
(6) Embedded Learning (General Transferable Skills)
CDIO Asian Regional Meeting and Workshop on Engineering Education and Policies for Regional Leaders
General Transferable Skills (IChemE, UK)
General Learning Outcomes:
Students graduating from an accredited
programme in chemical engineering …
must have developed and demonstrate
ability to integrate transferable skills
(such as communications, time
management, team working, interpersonal, effective use of IT including
information retrieval skills) that will be
of value in a wide range of situations
CDIO Asian Regional Meeting and Workshop on Engineering Education and Policies for Regional Leaders
