YNU software engineering major accredited

The software engineering major offered by the School of Software at Yunnan University, also known as YNU, was reportedly recognized by the China Engineering Education Accreditation Association, according to a recent announcement.

It is the first major at Yunnan University – located in Kunming, capital of Southwest China's Yunnan province – to have passed the accreditation.

The engineering education accreditation is regarded as an internationally accepted engineering education quality assurance system and its recipients pursue the core concepts of being student-centered, output-oriented and having continuous improvement.

The accreditation is followed by school self-evaluation, professional reviews, an on-site examination by experts, a conclusion review and more.

Since 2018, YNU has been promoting the accreditation of its engineering syllabus, to improve the competitiveness of its engineering disciplines, so as to produce more internationally-recognized engineering professionals.
