This book details the key concepts, objectives and processes
relating to the professional accreditation of engineering bachelor
(honours) degrees. The contemporary context of accreditation is
examined in terms of the globalised nature of both the engineering
profession and higher education. Examples of the processes relating
to single and dual accreditation are provided, with examination of
the Washington Accord and the requirements of the European Network
for Accreditation of Engineering Education. Details are also
provided as to how learning outcomes can be structured to
demonstrate compliance with accreditation criteria. The final
chapters deal briefly with quality assurance processes used in
education and the current international quality ranking systems
which exist. This book will provide the reader with a detailed
examination of outcome based education within the context of
Bachelor of Engineering (honours) degrees. A key feature of this
book is the side-by-side comparison of different accreditation
criteria and a thorough discussion of the relatively new phenomenon
of dual accreditation. The book seeks to provide a very clear
explanation and exploration of accreditation within the context of
engineering education and will benefit those practitioners involved
in the accreditation process.

Many can now conclude that utilising educational technologies can
be considered the primary tools to inspire students to learn.
Combining these technologies with the best teaching and learning
practises can engage in creativity and imagination in the
engineering field. Using Technology Tools to Innovate Assessment,
Reporting, and Teaching Practices in Engineering Education
highlights the lack of understanding of teaching and learning with
technology in higher education engineering programmes while
emphasising the important use of this technology. This book aims to
be essential for professors, graduate and undergraduate students in
the engineering programmes interested in learning the appropriate
use of technological tools.
Saudi Arabia, an oil based economy possesses more than a quarter of
global oil reserves and has been the largest oil producer for over
half a century. Oil exports generate total revenue for the nation's
development expenditure in its entirety. But lately Saudi Arabia
has acknowledged that the objective of long term economic
development cannot be attained by depending on a single source of
revenue. Therefore, Saudi Arabia embarked upon a long term economic
development planning to reduce this dependence on a single export
commodity and to accelerate structural diversification. Structural
diversification has been one of the dominant objectives of all the
eight development plans. Saudi Arabia has aggressively attempted
privatization in its industrialization process in this respect.
Further, in this pursuit Saudi Arabia joined the WTO and opened its
economy to ease inflow of investments from abroad. This book has
been written to analyze Saudi Arabia's strategies and its level of
success till date to diversify its economy away from export of oil

Uttar Pradesh(U.P.) is one of the big States in population as well
as in area in the Union of India. The State is gifted with
potentially fertile soils and has different tropical monsoon
climate. Agriculture has been the main occupation for the vast
majority of the people in the State. It is natural that all efforts
should be made to improve agriculture, which is the backbone of the
State's economy.Methods will, therefore, have to be devised not
only to increase production and productivity but also to ensure
that their benefits accrue to a vast multitude of small farmers.The
primary remedy is to provide adequate funds for development of
agriculture. Among the various types of funds needed, long-term
credit forms the most important basis for the same. In order to
fill the gap co-operative credit comes as a handy tool. The
co-operative movement has been an important instrument for social
change and means for ensuring people's participation in the
development of U.P. The purpose of this book is to study the
viability of the lending policies and performance of U.P.State
Co-operative Village Development Bank on a case basis and estimate
its role in the agricultural Development of U.P.
