Comparison of CDIO and Chinese Engineering Education Accreditation for Animation Specialty of TUST

摘要

A comparative study of the CDIO engineering education accreditation criteria and Chinese engineering education accreditation criteria (CEEAC) is presented in this paper. The CDIO syllabus has 4 parts, 17 categories, and 73 subdivision abilities and forms a core concept of “Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate” (CDIO). The CDIO criteria are more inclined to the abilities of students to solve practical needs of engineering problems. There are detailed descriptions and requirements of the ability in teaching, more emphasis on project-driven or problem driven teaching methods. The Chinese engineering education accreditation criteria (CEEAC, 2015 edition) do not have a core concept like “Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate”. CEEAC has 12 categories, requirements of ability achievement, for students. The candidates, specialties of universities, are allowed to define their own subdivision abilities and syllabuses according to their situation, which indicates that the CEEAC is more flexible and easier to be obtained for candidates. The requirements of graduation abilities are between the categories and subdivision abilities of CDIO.
