5. During the project QUEECA Tempus program achieved significant results: 1.To study the problem of ensuring the quality of engineering education and experience of the Association for Engineering Education of European countries, Russia and Kazakhstan; 2.The basic requirements and criteria for the preparation of an engineering education program (state educational standards, programs, plans, etc.) For accreditation; 3.Identify ways to ensure the quality of engineering education and the organization of the Association for Engineering Education, as well as international accreditation of educational programs. 4.Action Team TSTU developed the charter of the Association for Engineering Education, and other documentation in accordance with the requirements of the law of Uzbekistan on public associations; 5.Prepared by the experts for the accreditation of educational programs.

6. Determined and confirmed the selected educational programs for international accreditation on the basis of the requirements of European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE): by TSTU - "Electronics and Instrumentation (instrument)" by TUIT - "Software Engeneering"; - Ensure the participation of experts TSTU in preparation of materials for the international accreditation of the educational program "Electronics and Instrumentation (instrument)." For the reporting of MSU, international accreditation of the educational program "Electronics and Instrumentation (instrument)" through ENAEE, TSTU approved orders on the organization of the coordination, expert and working groups. - In TSTU organized website project QUEECA. http://tdtu.uz/queeca/target.html - Of the funding for the project QUEECA educational program "Electronics and Instrumentation (instrument)" organized two laboratory rooms with computers for virtual labs online, a room for workshops and two lecture halls. All five classrooms equipped with multimedia equipment.

7.  Beginning with 2013 in TUIT, the students (1 and 2 courses) are trained on the new educational program "Software Engineering", and senior students (3 and 4 courses) are trained by the previous educational program "Software Information Technology", and thus the full directions Education currently in TUIT is missing. Review of the procedural requirements for accreditation and discussion of the project team with representatives of the departments of education (methodological and monitoring department) led to the conclusion that at that time the period educational cycle of accreditation in TUIT is inappropriate.  In April 2015 it was informed to Association for Engineering Education of Russia, Project Coordinator, Mr. Borri and Mrs. Eliza.  Taking into account the important role of the accreditation procedure, experts TUIT accepted participate in activities of common-professional accreditation in TSTU.  Beginning with 2013 in TUIT, the students (1 and 2 courses) are trained on the new educational program "Software Engineering", and senior students (3 and 4 courses) are trained by the previous educational program "Software Information Technology", and thus the full directions Education currently in TUIT is missing.

9.  Defined the possibility adoption of criteria of professional accreditation as factors affecting the quality of education in higher education. This capability will be reflected in the methodological manuals prepared for the project.
