They consider the number of hours spentin preparation, report writing, project work, research hours, independent study hours, etc. in thenumber of hours expected for each credit. This means that there is no universal equivalencystandard for acceptance of courses from the ECTS system. Just as is the case when acceptingcourses from a non-ABET accredited US program into an accredited program, it is up to astudent’s home university to decide on the acceptance criteria.There are concerns about the overall student workload and the ability to match credits withlearning outcomes: “there are two main
