6. Washington Accord: Mutual Recognition
Agreement states:
Accreditation criteria, policies and procedures of the signatories have been verified comparable
Accreditation decisions made by one signatory are acceptable to the other signatories
Recognition applies only to accreditations conducted within the signatory’s national or territorial boundaries, except:
Offshore programmes offered by university with programs accredited in home territory
A designated signatory accredits in a developing countries where the is no capacity to operate an accrediting body
From presentation given by Prof. Hu Hanrahan in Taipei 2011.

7. Washington Accord: Benchmarking
Agreement states:
The Signatories will identify and encourage the implementation of best practice for the academic preparation of engineers
by mutual monitoring
regular communication and sharing of information:
accreditation criteria, systems, procedures, manuals, publications
lists of accredited programs;
invitations to observe accreditation visits; and invitations to observe meetings of any boards
Regular monitoring through six-yearly visits

10. Graduate Attributes Defined
Graduate attributes form a set of individually assessable outcomes that indicate the graduate's potential to acquire competence to practise at the appropriate level.
The Graduate Attributes are exemplars of the attributes expected of graduate from an accredited programme.
From presentation given by Prof. Hu Hanrahan in Taipei 2011.

20. FEIAP ENGINEERING EDUCATION GUIDELINES Published in December 2010 copyrights

21. Mission of FEIAP Guidelines
To set up FEIAP Engineering Education Accreditation Guidelines that will underpin the development and enhancement of outcomes focused engineering education programs in member economies.
To assist member economies through the use of these guidelines to systematically develop accreditation systems that will ultimately deliver graduate capabilities matching those within the WA and /or EUR-ACE systems or equivalent.
To provide assistance which will track the development needs of individual economies appropriate to nation building.

33. IEET/CIE’s Mentors Myanmar
Objective
Help MES to bench-mark the engineering degree programmes in Myanmar with best practices in FEIAP economies, and to give the confidence that engineering degree programmes accredited by the EAC in Myanmar will be of substantial equivalence to degree programmes by other FEIAP economies. This will mean the degree programmes will meet the basic education requirements of APEC engineers.
