New accreditation guide for chemical courses

摘要

IChemE has revised its guidelines for accrediting university chemical engineering courses. Following extensive consultation with all accredited universities, the revised guidelines are being introduced with effect of September 2008. The changes reflect new best practice for accreditation, including muchneeded clarification of the distinguishing features between a Bachelor's and a Master's degree and prepare departments for expected changes as a result of the Bologna declaration, which aims to harmonise the structure and teaching of university degrees across Europe.
