Graduate Attributes (WK)
At SIGCE, curriculum and pedagogy have been designed to make sure that engineering graduates are adequately trained for their careers as per established international standards thus facilitating global mobility.
Each subject and syllabus is designed to make sure that “The knowledge and Attitude Profile” as suggested by Washington Accord are adhered to.
Washington Accord:
The Washington Accord, initiated in 1989, is an agreement among entities responsible for accrediting tertiary-level engineering qualifications. Together, they aim to facilitate the global mobility of professional engineers.
The focus of the Washington Accord is on university programs that prepare students for professional engineering roles. It emphasises the importance of accrediting these programs to ensure that engineers are adequately trained for their careers.
Under the Accord, accredited engineering degree programs from one member organisation are mutually recognised by all others. This establishes a common standard for quality professional engineering education across participating entities.
The Knowledge and Attitude Profile
The Washington Accord establishes a knowledge and attitude profile defining essential knowledge for professional engineering practice. The knowledge & attitude profile covers core engineering principles, mathematical foundations, and technical skills. The graduate attributes emphasises ethical reasoning, professional responsibility, and lifelong learning. Together, these profiles ensure graduates meet internationally recognised standards for engineering practice
