  1. ACCREDITATION EFFORTS AT YIC YANBU INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE SAUDI ARABIA

  2. INDUSTRIAL MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF YIC OFFERS ASSOCIATE AND BACHELOR DEGREE PROGRAMS IN MANAGEMENT • ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMS ARE ACCREDITED IN 2004 • BACHELOR DEGREE PROGRAM IS ACCREDITED IN 2009 • ACCREDITATION GENERATED AN URGENT SENSE TO ACHIEVE QUALITY STANDARDS

  3. WITHOUT ACCREDITATION, THE SENSE OF URGENCY AND THE RESOLVE TO ATTAIN QUALITY STANDARDS WILL BE LACKING. • IT CREATES A MINDSET FOR CHANGE • THE TENDENCY TO SWIM ALONG THE CURRENT IS REPLACED BY A RESOLVE TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THE CURRENT.

  4. THERE WERE LOT OF SURVEYS AND REPORTS • PROBLEMS WERE IDENTIFIED, BUT NO CLUE HOW TO RESOLVE THEM • NEXT REPORT SHOWED THE SAME PROBLEMS • THINGS WERE NOT CHANGING • PEOPLE THOUGHT, NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE, THEN WHY SHOULD WE CHANGE? • THINGS MOVED IN SLOW MOTION

  5. THE WHOLE-HEARTED THRUST WAS MISSING • WE HAD TO PROVE AND SHOW OURSELVES THAT WE LACKED MANY THINGS • OUR FIRST PROBLEM WAS TO PREPARE THE MINDS FOR CHANGE • MAKE CLEAR WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE WANT TO BE , WHY AND HOW?

  6. WE REALIZED THAT A CHANGE IN MINDSET SHOULD BE THE STARTING POINT • HOW TO CHANGE THE MINDSET OF THE MANAGEMENT, STUDENTS AND TEACHERS…

  7. SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WERE KNOWN AND SHRUGGED OFF SAYING, ITS NOT OUR PROBLEM. • THE NEW APPROACH AIMED AT DRIVING HOME THE FACT THAT EVERYTHING IS OUR PROBLEM • THE PROBLEMS IN ENGLISH COMPREHENSION, THE PROBLEMS IN COMPUTING, PROBLEMS IN MATH – WE ARE THE END SUFFERERS.

  8. WE DIVIDED THE PROBLEMS INTO INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL • INTERNAL, THAT CAN BE SOLVED WITHIN • EXTERNAL WHERE SOLUTIONS ARE OUTSIDE THE DEPARTMENT. • EVERY PROBLEM WAS PLACED ON TABLE AND DISCUSSED. • MANY BRAINSTORMING SESSIONS FOLLOWED • SOLUTIONS WERE AGREED UPON. • COMMITMENT FOLLOWED.

  9. EXTERNAL PROBLEMS WERE DIFFICULT TO SOLVE AS THEY REQUIRED SUSTAINED PERSUASION. • WE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEMS AND THERE WERE NO CONVINCING SOLUTIONS • THEN WE THOUGHT OF BENCHMARKING

  10. WE WERE SURPRISED WHEN WE SAW THE DIFFERENCES IN PRACTICES • WHEN WE UNDERSTOOD WHERE WE ARE, A NEW DETERMINATION CAME IN TO IMPROVE • THE WHOLE PROCESS RECEIVED A BOOST

  11. ACCREDITATION PRODUCES A PRESSURE SYSTEM AND GIVES AN IMPRESSION THAT PEOPLE ARE WATCHING YOU • WE USED THE CONCEPT OF MBO THROUGHOUT

  12. OUR IDENTIFICATION OF PROBLEMS IN PREPARATORY YEAR PROGRAM LED TO THE OVERHAUL OF THE WHOLE PREPARATORY YEAR SYSTEM, NEW ASSESSMENT TESTS, NEW CURRICULUM, NEW STANDARDS OF PROGRESSION FROM PREP YEAR.

  13. WE DECIDED TO COMPLETELY OVERHAUL THE IMT CURRICULUM AND STUDY PLAN • DECIDED TO ADD NEW COURSES, REMOVE DUPLICATION • A NEW CULTURE OF BEING OPEN TO STUDENT AND PEER EVALUATIONS • INTRODUCTION OF NEW TEXT BOOKS WITH LOCAL FLAVOR

  14. INTERLACING EXCEL, SAP, SPSS, EXCEL, MYOB ETC WITHIN CURRICULAM • STANDARDIZATION TO MINIMIZE INDIVIDUAL TEACHING DIFFERENCES • SYSTEM OF FLAGGING COURSES • EXTERNAL COMPARISON OF PROGRAMS AND COURSE SYLLABI • PEER EVALUATION OF STUDENT EXERCISES

  15. FAST TRACK CURRICULUM MANAGEMENT SYSTEM • BRINGING ALUMNI BACK TO CLASS ROOMS AND ADVISORY POSITIONS • 360 DEGREE COURSE EVALUATION • PROGRAM EVALUATION EVERY THREE YEARS • EMPOWERING STUDENTS

  16. GRANTING OF ACCREDITATION IS JUST THE BEGINNING • ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE IS POSSIBLE ONLY THROUGH CHANGING THE MINDSET OF THE INSTITUTION MEMBERS, COLLECTIVE THINKING AND BENCHMARKING.
