AB  - With the advancement of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology 
(ABET), the stakeholders of the quality assurance in engineering education have been 
diversified. Especially, different stakeholders involve the quality assurance in 
engineering education with different attitudes and behaviors. Engineering education 
stakeholders have formed different groups representing different powers. It will help 
to optimize internal quality assurance mechanisms by exploring stakeholders. Thus, 
this research takes Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) as a case to study the power 
of quality assurance in engineering education from the perspective of Stakeholder 
Theory. The findings indicate that engineering education stakeholders have formed 
three main bodies representing administrative power, academic power, and student 
power, which play different roles and form different types of power participation; 
administrative power participates in the preparation and organization of program 
accreditation, participates in educational quality supervision, and guides teachers and 
students to participate in quality assurance; academic power participates in student 
learning evaluation and program continuous improvement, curriculum and teaching 
reform, teacher professional development activities; student power participates in the 
quality assurance both directly and indirectly. The engineering departments of the 
United States attach great importance to the collective responsibility of quality 
assurance in engineering education, and devote themselves to shaping the evaluation 
culture based on the participation of multiple stakeholders and forming a joint force 
for quality assurance in engineering education, which provides important 
enlightenment for the quality assurance in engineering education in other countries.
