Washington Accord
• Established in 1989.
• The Washington Accord is an international
accreditation agreement for professional
engineering academic degrees.
• The Washington Accord covers undergraduate
engineering degrees.
• The accord is not directly responsible for the
licensing or registration of Professional Engineers
and Chartered Engineers, but it does cover the
academic requirements that are part of the
licensing processes in signatory countries.

无怨，无悔，永不回头
把握現在
1970
(KT –
Johore)
每個人的生命都有盡頭，許多人往往在生命即將結束時，
才發現自己還有很多事沒有做，這實在是一種遺憾。
人生是一張單程車票，失去的便永遠不會再擁有。
千萬別把美好的生命浪費在等待上，
把握現在，享受現在，才是最重要的。
