Students’ presentationshould be in both written and oral forms, allowing faculty to assess the students’ performanceand project. Students are required to send e-mail memos and invite department faculty membersto participate in their presentation at the end of the semester. Faculty members use aquestionnaire survey that addresses five program outcomes to measure the students’competencies. The faculty members provide the feedback to improve the program curriculum,outcomes and capstone project. These outcomes include scientific knowledge, technical skills

Assurance in Engineering Education in China4.1 Active participation in domestic program accreditation of engineering educationThe earliest evaluation practice①of engineering education in China started in 1992. TheDegree Committee of the State Council and the Ministry of Education commissioned theMinistry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development to take charge of the organization andmanagement. The National Education Evaluation Committee for Architecture Education wasresponsible for the evaluation of architecture program. Subsequently, it carried out evaluationwork in civil engineering, urban and rural planning, built environment and energy applicationengineering, water supply and drainage science and engineering, and engineeringmanagement.In March

Personal epistemology could proveuseful in understanding the development of global competencies, particularly given findings thatraise questions about the connections between international experience and global competency.Our aim in future work will be to provide systematic and empirical evidence of attributes that areimportant for global engineering, namely attributes related to personal epistemologies.As discussed above, epistemologies vary across geographic contexts; however, what thoseepistemological differences might be in engineering specifically, and how they affect
