Engineering Accreditation Council • formulate and update accreditation policy and criteria • approve guidelines and operating procedures • oversee operational arrangements and appoint evaluation panel • receive evaluation report and decide on accreditation • respond to complaints, appeals or any proposals for change • oversee development and operation of accreditation and mutual recognition agreement with other countries • foster the dissemination of developments and best practices in engineering education • hold consultation meetings with universities when necessary
