Abstract

This paper presents a comparison of the quality of EE graduates following a study of two parallel programs based on different accreditation criteria. The first program followed the input-based accreditation criteria while the second followed the outcome-based criteria similar to EC2000. Analysis of students' exit surveys and faculty feedback has clearly shown that for the desired skills of engineering graduates in present job market, the quality of graduates of an engineering program following the outcome-based criteria is better than that obtained by a program following the input-based criteria.
