摘要
The undergraduate Mechanical Engineering Design curriculum in the Department of Mechanical Engineering Science at the University of Johannesburg is discussed in this paper. The emphasis is on accreditation by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) and accompanying international accreditation through the Washington accord. The course content in the four undergraduate years of study is given in short. Measures to meet accreditation targets, including required exit level outcomes, set by ECSA are spelt out. The CDIO principle is also considered and the level of compliance with the CDIO requirements is indicated.
