【摘要】：工程教育专业认证是保障工程教育质量的重要于段,是工程教育研究的基础性问题。美国工程教育专业认证作为最成熟、最权威的工程教育质量保障体系,是世界各国构建工程教育质量保障体系借鉴的主要对象之一。目前,学界对它的研究多集中在宏观层面,缺乏恰当的研究视角对其形成和发展进行深入的分析。因此,将美国工程教育专业认证置于其特定的历史文化背景下,从第三部门视角探寻工程教育专业认证的产生和发展,具有一定的理论意义和实践价值。美国工程教育专业认证的形成和发展有其内外动力机制。工程教育数量和质量的矛盾是内部动力,决定着工程教育专业认证以改进工程教育质量为使命和目标；美国高等教育自治传统和分权管理是生成环境,决定着工程教育专业认证的第三方认证模式；政府、高校、市场等利益相关者的价值需求直接推动了工程教育专业认证体系的形成,决定着开展工程教育专业认证活动时,协调利益相关者之间价值需求冲突的必要性。纵观美国工程教育专业认证的发展历程和现状,可以清楚地发现其具有显著的第三部门属性,如非政府、非营利、自治、专业性、志愿性等。这些属性特征在美国的历史文化背景下,不断推动着美国工程教育专业认证的发展壮大。非政府、非营利的认证机构,以其公益性服务——改进教育质量为使命和目标,独立开展专业化、制度化的认证活动,有效地协调政府、高校和市场三者间关系。既保证了认证活动的独立、客观、公正,提高了工程教育质量,维护了大学自治和学术自由,同时又满足了政府、高校和市场的价值需求,获得了各利益相关者的认可与支持,这样一来,认证活动的权威性越来越高、影响力越来越大,工程教育专业认证也自然会获得更大的发展空间。在工程教育专业认证不断发展完善时,其第三部门属性的内涵得以丰富和延伸。可以说,第三部门属性助推着美国工程教育专业认证体系在工程教育和社会变革中逐渐走向成熟和趋于完善。
[Abstract]:Professional certification of engineering education is important to guarantee the quality of engineering education and the basic problem of engineering education research. As the most mature and authoritative engineering education quality assurance system, American engineering education professional certification is one of the main objects for the construction of engineering education quality assurance system in the world. At present, the academic research on it mainly focuses on the macro level, and lacks a proper research perspective to analyze its formation and development in depth. Therefore, it is of theoretical significance and practical value to study the emergence and development of engineering education professional certification from the perspective of the third department under its specific historical and cultural background. The formation and development of American engineering education professional certification has its internal and external dynamic mechanism. The contradiction between quantity and quality of engineering education is the internal motive force, which determines that the purpose of engineering education professional certification is to improve the quality of engineering education. The value needs of government, university, market and other stakeholders directly promote the formation of engineering education professional certification system, and determine the development of engineering education professional certification activities. The need to reconcile conflicts of value needs between stakeholders. Looking at the development and present situation of engineering education certification in the United States, it can be clearly found that it has significant third sector attributes, such as non-governmental, non-profit, autonomous, professional, voluntary, and so on. Under the historical and cultural background of the United States, these attributes continuously promote the development of the professional certification of engineering education in the United States. Non-government, non-profit certification organization, with its public welfare service-improving the quality of education as its mission and goal, independently carry out specialized and institutionalized certification activities, effectively coordinate the relationship among the government, universities and markets. It not only guarantees the independence, objectivity and impartiality of the certification activities, improves the quality of engineering education, maintains the autonomy of universities and academic freedom, but also meets the value needs of the government, universities and markets, and is recognized and supported by all stakeholders. As a result, the authoritativeness and influence of the certification activities become more and more powerful, and the engineering education professional certification will naturally gain more development space. With the continuous development and perfection of engineering education professional certification, the connotation of the third sector attribute has been enriched and extended. It can be said that the attribute of the third sector promotes the American engineering education professional certification system to mature and perfect gradually in the process of engineering education and social transformation.
