The workshop aimed to clarify the requirements of the third criterion of engineering accreditation. It addressed the contents of course portfolios, methods for preparing examinations and aligning them with learning outcomes, and the importance of standardizing educational objectives and assessment methods. It also highlighted the need to document evidence demonstrating the achievement of these outcomes, thereby improving assessment accuracy and supporting compliance with engineering accreditation requirements.

Based on the topics discussed, the presenters recommended regularly updating course portfolios, reviewing examinations to ensure alignment with intended learning outcomes, and strengthening coordination between faculty members and the Quality Assurance Division to ensure that all criterion requirements are fulfilled and properly documented in accordance with approved standards.

This workshop forms part of the College of Engineering’s ongoing efforts at the University of Baghdad to improve educational practices and foster a culture of quality by translating engineering accreditation requirements into documented academic procedures that enhance assessment methods and improve educational outcomes.
