Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC)

Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC)
Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) is a delegated body by the Board Engineers Malaysia as the only recognized accrediting body for engineering degree programmes offered in Malaysia. Members of EAc comprise five (5) stakeholders namely, the Board Of Engineers (BEM) [6 representatives], the Institution Of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) [6 representatives], Employers [3 representatives], National Accreditation Board (LAN) [1 representative] and the Public Service Department (JPA) [1 representative].

EAC has provided leadership and quality assurance in engineering higher education since 2000. EAC accredits programmes at 25 institutions of higher learning (IHL) .

What is EAC Accreditation?

What is EAC Accreditation?

EAC accreditation is not a ranking system but rather provides assurance that a degree programme meets the quality standards established by the Engineering profession for which the programme prepares its students. Institutions of higher usually volunteer to periodically undergo this review in order to determine if certain criteria are being met.

WHAT IS THE QUALITY STANDARDS SET ?
The quality standards or criteria for accreditation are set by the EAC through collaborative efforts among the respective Engineering professions.

WHY IS ACCREDITATION IMPORTANT ?

• Helps students and parents identify quality Engineering programmes.
• Enable employers and graduate schools to recruit graduates they know are well-prepared.
• Used by the registration board to screen applicants.
• gives institutions of higher learning a structured mechanism to assess, evaluate and improve the quality of their programmes.
