  2. Full member since 2005 Founding member since 2005 Founding member 2000

  3. Mission statement given by law (1934) : - accredit new engineering degrees - assess periodically existing degrees (every 6 years) since 1997 - assess foreign engineering degrees when ever requested by foreign institutions - issue the list of accredited engineering degrees - participate in any perspective study and review related to engineering programmes - foster the dissemination of developments and best practices

  4. French engineering education system Engineering 5 years Secondary 7 years Primary Ingénieurdiplômé 5 years Baccalauréat AGE (years) 7 0 11 18 23

  5. Engineering degree in France - one cycle of 5 years of higher education - degree after 300 ECTS credits - "Ingénieur diplômé" stands for Master degree (not the reverse) - no board of engineers in France, however the « ingénieur diplomé » title is protected by law - entry in engineering profession directly after engineering degree recognized by the « Conventions collectives ».

  6. Engineering Education in France (1) A variety of cursus, structures, organisations and engineering specialties but common standards and procedures. • Classical education- Competitive entry examination- 2+3 or 5 years depending on recruitement level- 800 education hours/year- 20 to 36 weeks internship periods in industry

  7. Engineering Education in France (2) • Apprenticeship- education level of recruitment : 2 years after « baccalauréat »- 3 years : half time education (1800 hours) half time company • Continuing Education- education level of recruitment : 2 years after « baccalauréat »- 3 years of industrial experience- 2 years : half time education (1200 hours) half time company

  8. Present status • 227 engineering institutions - 728 programmes 30 000 degrees in 2007 - 50% higher education ministry - 25% other ministries - 25% private institutions • 2 000 degrees in foreign institutions • 65 apprenticeship and continuing education engineering programmes :1300 degrees in 2007

  9. 8 rep. From other Ministries and private institutions 8 Engineer Associations rep. Trade Unions rep. CTI line up • Parity between academic and industrial representatives • Independant panel comprising 32 members divided into 4 colleges 8 academic rep. from Ministry of Higher Education 8 Industry representatives

  10. CTI organization - members appointed for 4 years (once renewable) - chairman elected for 2 years - members on a voluntary basis - registry and secretary office of the Board managed by Higher Education Ministry

  11. Methods • Self evaluation of HEI in engineering • Site visits • Self evaluation guide for HEI – 2009 Taking in account new challenges: - quality assurance - adaptation of programmes to stakeholders needs including the professions. - international development of HEI, student recruitment, programmes, qualifications and labour market access. - creation of the EHEA

  12. Guide of HEI self evaluation: six chapters • Organisation • Awareness and Partnerships • Students recruitment • Education and training • Employment • Internal quality management

  13. Exemple: Awareness and partnerships • Strong links with industry • Deep cooperation with research • European and international cooperation • National links • Regional and local policy

  14. International exchanges and mobility of students and graduates • ECTS and diploma supplement for all • Request of high level in English and a second language is recommanded • International internships in industry or laboratory. Exchange with foreign students and professors. • Double diploma 4+4+3or4 semesters and preferably joined diploma 4+3+3, research cooperation • As results, 70% of students have an international experience of one semester, 15% of graduates (ingénieurs diplômés) are appointed outside France for their first job.

  15. Accreditation criteria (new curriculum) - objectives of the new curriculum - recruitment procedure - pedagogic and personal outcomes : balance between scientific, technical, economic and human resources programs - research activities - faculty mix (academic - industrial) - educational self education - premises, equipments, library… - quality management system ….

  16. CTI accreditation decision making • Public institutions - CTI acts on behalf of Higher Education Minister- CTI acts as adviser of Higher Education Minister and other ministers- Minister’s decision based on CTI recommendations • Private institutions - CTI acts on behalf of Higher Education Minister- CTI settles decision after hearing the institution board

  17. International activities of CTI • overseeing development and operation of accreditation. • developing mutual recognition agreement with other countries : ABET - CCI (Canada) - BEM (Malaysia)… • assessing foreign engineering degrees on their request : TUK (Germany), EPFL & ETHZ (Switzerland), IST (Luxemburg), UTS (Bulgaria), PFIEV (Vietnam)… • taking part in rationalisation of higher education systems : ECA, ENQA, EUR-ACE, in cooperations with national agencies, and organising its own self evaluation and external review. • Mutual recognition agreements of accreditation decisions signed and EUR-ACE labels awarded in Europe since 2007

  18. International activities of CTI (2) CTI is a major actor in the European Higher Education Area • Full member of ENQA (European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education) • Founding member of ECA(European Consortium for Accreditation) • Founding membre of EUR-ACE (European Accreditation of Engineering Programmes) .

  19. European Higher Education AeraBologna Process • Sorbonne 1998-05-25 4 countries • Bologna 1999-06-19 29 countries • Pragua 2001-05-19 29 countries • Berlin 2003-09-19 33 countries • Bergen 2005-05-19 45 countries • Londres 2007 46 countries • Louvain 2009

  20. European Higher Education AreaBologna Process • 2005-7- European Standards and Procedures - Industry and Professional unions representatives participate officially - Two cycles system - recognition of degrees and study periods - ECTS- diploma supplement, joint degrees, synergy with research

  21. European Higher Education AreaBologna Process • 2010- European qualification framework, employability - European standards and procedures- Mutual recognition of grades and study periods.- mobility- Life long learning

  22. Conclusions A large span of experience to evaluate and accreditate programmes and institutions Communauty and convergence of views, analysis and decisions Linkage between science, technology, economy and societal responsability Integration in Europe and other regions
