Developing integrated standards for a civil engineering course design: 2017 ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition

Engineering degrees are subject to a range of different quality assurance frameworks, which while often similar in their overall intent, can manifest quite differently. Some have requirements for the structure or content of the program; others have mandated expectations from the graduates. Most university courses are required to meet multiple standards to demonstrate accountability to professional organisations, employers and other governing bodies/government agencies for producing graduates with disciplinary knowledge and skills and generic skills for employability.
