Accreditation Process:
The association was one of the founding members of so-called the Independent Accreditation Center (IAC), which was the first non-governmental agency for evaluation of engineering educational programs.
In 2001 the RAEE initiated the revision of the accreditation criteria and procedures to make them consistent with the world experience in quality assurance in higher education. In 2002 the RAEE has developed new criteria and procedures for public accreditation of engineering programs. At the same time the IAC was reestablished into the Accreditation Center of the RAEE. Unlike IAC, the Accreditation Center accredits only engineering programs.
RAEE accredits program in the Russian Federation and also in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
RAEE Activities:
- Professional accreditation of engineering programmes offered by Russian HEI’s;
