During the project QUEECA Tempus program achieved significant results:
1. To study the problem of ensuring the quality of engineering education
and experience of the Association for Engineering Education of
European countries, Russia and Kazakhstan;
2. The basic requirements and criteria for the preparation of an
engineering education program (state educational standards,
programs, plans, etc.) For accreditation;
3. Identify ways to ensure the quality of engineering education and the
organization of the Association for Engineering Education, as well as
international accreditation of educational programs.
4. Action Team TSTU developed the charter of the Association for
Engineering Education, and other documentation in accordance with
the requirements of the law of Uzbekistan on public associations;
5. Prepared by the experts for the accreditation of educational
programs.

Determined and confirmed the selected educational programs for
international accreditation on the basis of the requirements of European
Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE):
by TSTU - "Electronics and Instrumentation (instrument)"
by TUIT - "Software Engeneering";
- Ensure the participation of experts TSTU in preparation of materials for
the international accreditation of the educational program "Electronics
and Instrumentation (instrument)." For the reporting of MSU, international
accreditation of the educational program "Electronics and Instrumentation
(instrument)" through ENAEE, TSTU approved orders on the organization
of the coordination, expert and working groups.
- In TSTU organized website project QUEECA.

- Of the funding for the project QUEECA educational program
"Electronics and Instrumentation (instrument)" organized two laboratory
rooms with computers for virtual labs online, a room for workshops and
two lecture halls. All five classrooms equipped with multimedia
equipment.

 Beginning with 2013 in TUIT, the students (1 and 2 courses) are
trained on the new educational program "Software Engineering",
and senior students (3 and 4 courses) are trained by the previous
educational program "Software Information Technology", and thus
the full directions Education currently in TUIT is missing. Review of
the procedural requirements for accreditation and discussion of the
project team with representatives of the departments of education
(methodological and monitoring department) led to the conclusion
that at that time the period educational cycle of accreditation in
TUIT is inappropriate.
 In April 2015 it was informed to Association for Engineering
Education of Russia, Project Coordinator, Mr. Borri and Mrs. Eliza.
 Taking into account the important role of the accreditation
procedure, experts TUIT accepted participate in activities of
common-professional accreditation in TSTU.

To improve management and control of the quality of
education formed a logical organization of information
system TUIT, with reference to the development of eUniversity (developed elements of an information system
at the level of departments and deanery)
 Developed methodical bases of self-assessment in TUIT
with the definition and indicators for specific categories
(students, graduates, teachers and consumers) and also
the possibility of an electronic survey, to more objective
and reasonable determination of performance of the
university.

Defined the possibility adoption of criteria of professional
accreditation as factors affecting the quality of education in
higher education. This capability will be reflected in the
methodological manuals prepared for the project.
