Abstract:Globalization requires Chinese civil engineering program to tune towards internationalization. It is an effective approach to improve the internationalization of Chinese civil engineering program by getting international professional accreditation. This paper briefly introduces the current international accreditation situation of Chinese civil engineering program as well as professional accreditation requirements from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), USA. The method for curriculum file archive, one of the critical preparations for ABET accreditation, was studied. The detailed curriculum file archival requirements for ABET accreditation were discussed and some related suggestions were proposed subsequently. Based on seismic design of building structures course in College of Civil Engineering of Tongji University, a typical sample of curriculum document archives according to the ABET requirements were demonstrated.
