Mechanical aptitude, power of engineering observation,mechanical intelligence and spatial perception are professionally important qualities. However engineering activity is of creative nature. Real engineer should actindependently, creatively and with initiative in every field. Often engineers become teammanagers, therefore administrative abilities are also of great importance. Sense of responsibility is also necessary for professional engineers as wise utilizationof funds, equipment and manpower often depends on his work, abilities and self-discipline.

’ training in higher education institutions is assured through quality of educa-tional programs and learning and teaching methods, resourcing (including financial resources), level ofinteraction with strategic partners, efficiency of Quality Management Systems, and quality of pre-university training (newcomers background). Universities all over the world develop their own systemsfor quality assurance of education based on their programs, information and material resources, methodo-logical framework, human resources, management system and specific requirements from stakeholders(society, individuals and state). An important role in terms of Education Quality Management Systems is given to the tools to assessthe quality of training specialists in
isthat some departments employ a more passive approach only sending marketing material abroad,while others have active recruiting strategies. There is a lack of an institutionally coordinatedeffort. Although it may be true that graduate students come to a department and not to aninstitution, according to Katz (2006), universities are increasingly aware that to succeed, therecruiting initiative cannot remain entirely decentralized [10]. An example of such coordinatedefforts is a program implemented by Purdue called Graduate Recruitment Overseas (GRO) [10].GRO is a three-year trial grant competition for overseas recruiting trips supported by theprovost’s office with an allocation of $60,000 [10].Two additional examples of coordinated efforts

These are typically questionsembedded in student assignments, exams, interviews, questionnaires` or other evaluativemechanisms. PAO also supplies the relevant statistics for the course. These include thenumber of students, the grading scale and the average score for the embedded question, thepercentage of students who achieved the outcome. Finally, the course instructor makes anyrelevant comments regarding the achievement of the outcome. In addition, he prepares a set ofcourse materials, which includes the course syllabus, copies of the instruments used to
