WHAT IS EAC?

Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) is a delegated body by the Board Engineers Malaysia as the only recognized accrediting body for engineering degree programmes offered in Malaysia.


WHAT IS ACCREDITATION?

This is a formal recognition that certificates diploma and degree awarded by higher education institution in accordance with the set standards.


WHAT ARE THE LEVELS OF ACCREDITATION?

There are two level of programme accreditation, i.e., Provisional Accreditation and Full (or Final) Accreditation.

The purpose of Provisional accreditation is to establish whether the minimum requirements to conduct the programme have been met by the HEP in respect of the nine areas of evaluation and especially the curriculum design.
Where necessary, a visit may be conducted to confirm the arrangement or the suitability of the facilities at the HEP premises.
The evaluation is conducted by MQA’s panel of Assessors (POA) and their findings are tabled at the respective Accreditation Committee for their decision.
The HEP uses the report from the Provisional Accreditation exercise as one of the requirements to seek approval from MOHE to offer the programme, and, on obtaining it, to commence the programme.

The purpose of Full or Final Accreditation is to ensure that the programme has met the set standards as in the Code of Practice, and in compliance with the Framework.
Full Accreditation is an external and independent assessment conducted by MQA through its POA, who evaluate the Programme Information and Self-Review Report submitted by the HEP.


WHY IS ACCREDITATION IMPORTANT ?

- Helps students and parents identify quality engineering programmes.

- Enable employers and graduate schools to recruit graduates they know are well-prepared.

- Used by the registration board to screen applicants.


WHY EAC IS NEEDED?

The Public Service Department (JPA) would only alow graduates from EAC accredited programmes or those recognized by EAC to join the public service.

All graduate engineers must register with the BEM to practice engineering in Malaysia. Having an EAC accredited engineering degree is the prerequisite for registration.
