Abstract

In this paper, an integrated academic accreditation program (named IAAP) is developed. The main focus of this study was engineering education, and a case study of the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at Taiz University (TU), Yemen was considered. The IAAP is developed by integrating two academic accreditation programs, the national program (Council of Accreditation and Quality Assurance: CAQA) and the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). A clause-by-clause comparison of the criteria of the two programs (CAQA and ABET) was applied to construct the IAAP. The developed program is applicable to any other engineering faculty in Yemen. An investigation of the capability of implementing the IAAP was conducted. The investigation process involved the six academic departments of the faculty under study. A weighing and scoring scheme was obtained for each element of the IAAP using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP).
