Abstract

Current engineer faces a significant challenge to fulfill a nation need's in line with the pace of technological advancement and socio-technological changes. To effectively contribute once they enter the industry and to meet employers' expectation, engineering graduates must be competent in theoretical knowledge, research-oriented engineering an application-oriented engineering. This paper presents an overview and comparative study of Engineering Education Learning Outcomes stated by CDIO (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate) Initiative and EAC (Engineering Accreditation Council) to prepare the engineering graduates for the industry. The paper concludes that CDIO Syllabus encompass more comprehensive view on the learning outcomes by considering the synthesis between engineering science and practices. The authors suggest that EAC should have a concise definition of an engineer in a context of Malaysia as a rapidly developing country. Continuous improvement on engineering education has to be done continuously to ensure the current engineering graduate capable of sustaining and competing in today industry environments.

CDIO与EAC工程教育学习效果之比较

随着技术进步和社会技术变革的步伐，当前的工程师面临着满足国家需求的重大挑战。为了在进入行业后有效地做出贡献，并满足雇主的期望，工程专业毕业生必须具备理论知识、研究型工程和应用型工程的能力。本文介绍了CDIO(构思-设计-实施-运营)倡议和EAC(工程认证委员会)提出的工程教育学习成果的概述和比较研究，以帮助工程毕业生为行业做好准备。本文认为，CDIO教学大纲考虑到工程科学与实践的综合，对学习成果有更全面的认识。这组作者建议EAC应该在马来西亚作为一个快速发展的国家的背景下对工程师有一个简明的定义。必须不断改进工程教育，以确保当前的工程毕业生能够在当今的工业环境中维持和竞争。
