報告摘要：工程教育專業(yè)認證是保證高等教育質(zhì)量并實現(xiàn)專業(yè)培養(yǎng)國際相互承認的重要途徑，因此專業(yè)認證受到了世界各國的重視。美國是進行工程教育專業(yè)認證較早的國家之一，其認證制度目前已發(fā)展得比較完善。美國的工程教育專業(yè)認證是由美國工程與技術(shù)認證組織（ ABET, Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology）提供，ABET是得到美國高等教育界和工程界的廣泛認可和支持的唯一的工程教育專業(yè)鑒定機構(gòu)。本次報告主要介紹ABET組織機構(gòu)以及該組織進行專業(yè)認證的方法。重點介紹ABET中計算機相關(guān)專業(yè)認證的條件，認證的過程，以及如何為ABET評估做準備。該報告將為國內(nèi)高校準備計算機專業(yè)認證和專業(yè)課程建設(shè)提供一些參考和借鑒。
報告人簡介：Jian Zhang is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Texas Woman’s University (TWU), Denton, Texas. She received her PhD and a MS in Computer Science from Tulane University in 2004 and 2002, and a BS in Electrical Engineering from Hefei University of Technology, Hefei, China in 1996.
Her research interests include information security, computational intelligence, and computer science education. She is especially interested in the adoption of innovative approaches to teaching Computer Science and is passionate about increasing STEM awareness in youth. In 2018, she successfully completed an NSF S-STEM project ($599,000) which awarded scholarships to qualified TWU STEM students. Currently, she is the PI of an NSF funded collaborative research project ($299,997) which studies spatial skills and their impact on learning computer science. She is also the external evaluator and the coordinator of the advisory board on another NSF funded project on accessible computing. She has served on multiple program committees including the Program Co-Chair and Symposium Co-Chair for the SIGCSE symposium. Dr. Zhang is an ABET CAC Program Evaluator since 2017.
