  • Abstract
    All educational institute have to assess their teaching for accrediting. The goal of this measuring is to evaluate that the content of the teachings is suited to the current jobs of our students. The accreditations institutes give the main methods and the regulatory environment, however the establishments are free to choose the operational experiment that leads to validate their educational programme into the regulatory context. To do this, we have assessed to teachings of EBI by using a competency framework (7 items and 30 sub-items). We have implemented a quantitative analysis based on these data and using an indicator based on the European Credits Transfer System. We have shown that our teachings are based on four axes: the scientific skills, interdisciplinary skills of engineering, the ability to work on an international context and the respect for social values. We also identified the areas for improvement of our trainings and its consistent with the future job of our students.
