At the end of the visit, it was agreed that accreditation was now a must forquality assurance of engineering education and for mutual recognition of substantialequivalence throughout the region and the world and also suggested workshops foraccreditation to have buy-in from stakeholders: policy makers, professional bodies,industry, academia and even students are needed.

We provide an example of how we are using the sameapproach for Electric circuit analysis. The approach can also be used in the context ofsome other courses. The usefulness of the proposed approach depends on the ability ofthe teacher to provide adequate set of services for each experiment and the detaileddescription of the functionality of each service. In a future work we will specificallyaddress, in the framework of this approach, the issue of the collaborative use of a remotelaboratory with not only one single service at a time but in cases where multiples
