TOWARDS A NEW ACCREDITATION AGENCY IN SPAIN

BENJAMIN SUAREZ ET AL.

The quality of evaluation and accreditation system in Spain is very complex, good but not enough; it cannot provide the appropriate framework to engineering studies for academic and professional international recognition The integration of the Spanish university system into the European Higher Education Area is causing some problems in engineering studies at undergraduate and graduate levels an with professional recognition A specific agency for engineering studies accreditation in Spain would help to solve serious problems, particularly to become part of the relevant international agreements
