  2. CDIO Asian Regional Meeting and Workshop on Engineering Education and Policies for Regional Leaders What is Quality? Who should it be done for? What can be done?... Meets customer/learners satisfaction The product is the best combination of price and features How should it be done?... What is Quality? What should be done?... Conforming to design, specifications, or requirements. Having no defects The product has something that other similar products do not have that add value Quality: A self-sustaining relationship between management, staff and students that leads to all students realising their potential.

  3. CDIO Asian Regional Meeting and Workshop on Engineering Education and Policies for Regional Leaders What is Quality Assurance? • A process which stipulates how a production (service) should take place and to what standards • A process which guarantees customers that a product (service) will meet standards consistently (Roger Ellis) • Prevention of problems through planned and systematic activities (John S. Oakland) • Doing the right things right

  4.
