Education and Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC), represented by the National Center for Academic Accreditation and Evaluation (NCAAA), obtained membership of the Washington Accord, an agreement between the authorities responsible for accrediting or recognizing engineering degrees in higher education. This membership aims to enhance learning capabilities, and graduate mobility among member states, provide job opportunities for graduates of NCAAA-accredited national academic institutions in the fields of engineering around the world, and help improve and develop relationships with quality assurance agencies and networks around the world, as well as better localize international practices in the accreditation of engineering programs.
