IEE Colloquium on 'Accreditation - an Essential Monitor of Quality to be Further Developed or a Spent Force' (Digest No.069)
Quality assessment in engineering education
The author argues that there is a view that engineering educators need to work-not just to satisfy the rigours of quality assessment, but more importantly so that they can develop an efficient approach to their work in the face of decreasin...
Accreditation-roles, responsibilities and relationships between the Professional Institutions and the Engineering Council
The Professional Institutions and the Engineering Council operate with the collective objectives of representing and developing the engineering profession in its broadest sense and the various branches of that discipline which it comprises....
NVQs-credits towards accreditation
The author defines the term 'accreditation' which is used in its SARTOR meaning, and is concerned with the quality and relevance of an educational or training programme, as far as it affects criteria for membership and registration. In the ...
The value placed by industry on academic accreditation
Many higher education institutions have now had their period of accreditation renewed at least twice. The composition of the IEEE Accreditation Committee has changed in the normal course of replacement, the visiting panels have recruited co...

Explaining Unfamiliar Genomics Data Visualizations to a Blind Individual through Transitions
The introduction of novel visualizations through animated transitions is a well-established practice in visualization research. In our preliminary exploratory study, we investigate whether this approach could effectively facilitate the intr...
A Screen reader and Sonification Approach for non-sighted Users to explore Data Visualizations on the Internet
Content on the internet is often not accessible to all users. In particular with data visualizations, blind and visually impaired people face the problem that the presented data is either impossible or very difficult to access with the help...
Toward Understanding the Experiences of People in Late Adulthood with Embedded Information Displays in the Home
Embedded information displays (EIDs) are becoming increasingly ubiquitous on home appliances and devices such as microwaves, coffee machines, fridges, or digital thermostats. These displays are often multi-purpose, functioning as interfaces...
From Sight to Touch: Designing Tactile Data Physicalizations for Non-sighted Users
Blind and visually impaired people are often excluded from the analysis of datasets because data visualizations primarily address the visual channel. For this reason, this paper examines different physical and tactile encodings for preparin...
