| contents | Evaluation and accreditation of Higher Education Institutions takes into account more and more criteria that were not considered 10 years ago, they are mostly arising from learning outcomes approaches. The institutions need to provide expected learning outcomes linked to programs in relation to the needs of society and must be also able to explain how they evaluate them in relation to their educational process. In engineering education, it is the case for national agencies such as CTI (Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur) as well as for European labels such as EUR Ace, proposed by ENAEE, both agencies including professional members which ensures that those learning outcomes are linked to professional ones. Those agencies have proposed lists of skills that should be those of graduated students, among these skills, many soft skills are present besides technical ones. When CTI revised its accreditation criteria in 2016, as all agencies accredited by ENQA, it had to consult stakeholders about its new standards. For this occasion, CDEFI (Conference des Directeurs des Ecoles Françaises d'Ingénieur) asked that among the 14 learning outcomes considered as mandatory for an engineer, one could be about Informational skills because the companies employing engineers were complaining on the fact that during internships and projects, students were unable to choose pertinent information among the huge flow of information they had at disposal. Some students and teachers are always thinking that it is only a technical problem linked with computer science approach! Finding the good information is not only a problem of librarians, it needs critical spirit too. At the time when "Fake news" become a real problem event in politics, how teach future engineers the good way to fetch and select information? This will be discussed in the paper with reference to the work already done by several networks of institutions in France and abroad. This is a great issue for our engineers graduated at master level: critical spirit being a strong point in their education. |
