The Ministry of Education is executing the Evaluation for all departments of universities and colleges. The departments and graduate institutes of Chinese Culture University were evaluated during late October and early November of 2007. The results of this evaluation will be announced in near future. Departments of Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Textile Engineering are participating the Engineering Education Accreditation (EEA) in 2008, and other departments and graduate institutes of the College of Engineering (COE) are expected to complete EEA within 3 years. Among 8 Accreditation Codes (AC's) of EEA, "Department Educational Goals" and "Graduates Core Capabilities" are most essential. In order to fulfill the above mentioned targets, Course Planning and Composition plays the key role.
The Engineering Education is facing "Scientification" for almost all COE's in Taiwan, which is not beneficial to the goals of Engineering Education of COE's. This tendency needs to be discussed and corrected. Erudition and Socialization are two main factors behind Engineering Education. Therefore there are 3 basic principles namely, Teaching-oriented, Practical-oriented and Broad-oriented, proposed for Engineering Education. The COE serves as the cradle of Engineering Education. Other than the professional and technical courses taught in COE, planning to offer engineering general education courses is urgent and necessary.
