Independent Institute of Education awarded full accreditation for B.Eng degrees
South African private higher education institution the Independent Institute of Education (IIE) has received full accreditation from the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).
The institute, which is also a division of JSE-listed company ADvTECH, is the first private higher education provider in the country to be recognised in this manner by ECSA.
All engineering degrees in South Africa must be offered with the approval of ECSA.
The IIE has been offering ECSA-endorsed Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng) degrees since 2018. During the initial development stages and in the first years of offering these degrees, ECSA conducted various site visits and reviews of IIE’s B.Eng degrees, to ensure the qualifications adhere to best practice and to national and international standards for engineering.
Full accreditation has now been awarded for IIE's B.Eng degrees in electrical and electronic engineering and in mechanical engineering.
“This milestone is truly significant as IIE becomes the first private higher education institution in Africa to receive full accreditation for engineering degrees under the international Washington Accord,” says MD within IIE Louise Wiseman.
“This latest recognition reaffirms that IIE is uniquely positioned in the private sector to provide the highest quality of academic excellence, while ensuring our qualifications and students are deservedly recognised – in line with their peers in public universities – in the industry and the workplace,” she adds.
