中美安全工程专业教育及认证标准对比研究

Comparative Study on Safety Engineering Education and Accreditation Criteria between China and U.S.

安全学科发展与社会需求共同促进着我国安全工程专业教育和专业认证工作的发展。对比研究中美情况,将有助于我国更好地借鉴美国经验尽快实现与国际标准接轨。首先简要介绍美国安全工程专业教育及认证工作的情况,并结合我国安全工程专业教育和开展专业认证工作的现状,提出了在学科分类、办学学校、培养目标、专业课程设置以及专业认证等5个方面与美国安全工程专业教育及认证工作的差异性。在此基础上,提出对我国安全工程教育发展的2条建议:加强安全工程学科建设,科学设定课程体系;加快安全专业认证,促进安全专业认证与注册安全工程师标准的衔接。

Safety engineering education and accreditation in China are promoted by the development of safety discipline and social needs. The comparative study would be useful to use the experience of U. S. for reference to be in line with the international standards. The Safety engineering undergraduate education and accreditation in U. S. were briefly introduced. According to the present status of safety engineering education and accreditation, five main differences were raised in terms of discipline classification, program objective, curriculum etc.. Based on the analysis, two suggestions on strengthening safety discipline and accelerating accreditation were given in favor of safety engineering undergraduate education in China.
