ABET认证对实验教学改革的启示

Enlightenment of ABET accreditationon for experimental teaching reform

通过对ABET工程教育认证标准的分析,从3个方面阐述了当前实验教学改革的重点:以学生为中心,加强实验室安全教育;以培养成果为导向,突出创新能力培养;注重对学生成果的支撑与评价,建立有效的持续改进机制。华东理工大学化学工程与工艺专业是国内首个通过ABET认证并获得最长有效期的工程专业,其实践经验可为工程类专业开展国际化认证或工程教育国际化改革提供借鉴。

According to the authors＇ deep understanding on ABET Accreditation Standards of Engineering Education,this paper elaborates on the principal focus of current experimental teaching reform the following from three aspects：to strength laboratory safety training with students as the core;to promote innovation ability training oriented by learning outcomes;and to emphasize on supporting and assessment on students＇ learning outcomes to establish efficient continuous improvement system.The major of Chemical Engineering and Technology in East China University of Science and Technology was successfully qualified for ABET Accreditation with an up-to-date longest duration.Therefore,the practical experience could be further adapted to international accreditations of related engineering majors or engineering education reform.
