From February 16th to December 19th，David Beasley、John A. Orr——two senior assessment experts certified in international Engineering technology education（Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology, “ABET”），Michael Hirschi and Jenny Amos, ABET Certification experts of UIUC Institute of Technology, And Professor Philippe Geubelle, Managing Associate Dean of UIUC Institute of Technology, Professor Jonathan Makela, Associate Dean, and Professor Umberto Ravaioli, Director of the Office of Cooperative Education between the two universities constituted a seven-member assessment expert group came to the United College of Urbana-Champaign, University of Illinois, Zhejiang University (hereinafter referred to as "ZJUI") to carry out a comprehensive field investigation, assessment and guidance. After four days of intensive investigation and evaluation and training guidance, the expert group gave a very high evaluation on the international engineering education of ZJUI, and was full of confidence in the future development of ZJUI. Evaluation experts agree that ZJUI ranks top among the more than 80 engineering schools it has participated in evaluation.

The expert group went into the classroom for teaching evaluation, consulted the files, inspected the campus infrastructure, and had in-depth discussions and exchanges with relevant department heads, teachers, management teams, service support teams, counselors and students of the international campus.
The first-class international campus environment, the international leading teaching laboratory with innovative design mode, the residential college with complete facilities and educational goals, the management mode and organizational structure of ZJUI have been highly appreciated by the expert group.

Expert in development for the teachers and management staff ZJUI certification procedures and requirements on workshop, the experts to ZJUI teachers illustrates the nine indicators of development evaluation in detail: the talent training quality, professional training objective, graduates quality, continuous improvement loop, courses, teachers, teaching facilities, the necessary support, professional standards, etc. The certification process emphasizes the results-oriented educational philosophy, that is, the effectiveness of teaching and training around professional training objectives.The expert group hopes that ZJUI will continue to adhere to the goal of cultivating high-quality talents in the next stage of teaching work, further deepen and practice around the goal, pay attention to the growth of students and the acquisition of skills, and promote the continuous improvement of teaching quality.

After paying attention to the class, inspecting, and reviewing the ZJUI teaching and student feedback materials, the ABET evaluation experts gave a high evaluation on the teaching and training of the four majors in ZJUI at the summary meeting. Experts clearly indicate that the teaching quality of the four majors offered by ZJUI is very outstanding, with strong foundation, strong crossing, emphasis on practice and innovation in talent cultivation. Students have formed good self-management ability and learning and exploring ability in the whole training system designed by the college, and are striving to become excellent engineers. They also extend their congratulations to Zhejiang University and the University of Illinois, two prestigious universities in the field of engineering. ZJUI is the result of close and in-depth cooperation between the two universities, and its current operation is very successful.
They also put forward higher expectations for the college from the aspects of the quantity arrangement of students' courses and the teachers' leading power in curriculum setting.

The ABET simulation evaluation aims to promote the further improvement of teaching quality and talent cultivation quality, and provides a good opportunity for improving teaching level and standardizing teaching management. In the future, ZJUI will take this simulated certification evaluation as an opportunity to analyze and summarize expert feedback, continue to promote the construction of teaching quality mechanism, refine and summarize school-running characteristics, continue to strengthen highlights, make up for shortcomings, and focus on the preparation of formal ABET evaluation and certification, striving to achieve greater achievements in the stage of formal ABET evaluation and certification. Future ZJUI will according to the result of simulation assessment certification, fully implement the professional training goal driven by the high level of teaching, improve the graduates of international recognition of qualifications, provide students with a broader development channels, all-round, to improving the quality of undergraduate education, to help early complete the construction of "double" first-class university, zhejiang university target contribution strength, for chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools in China to set up the talent training and demonstration benchmarking.

ABET is the most authoritative and universal certification system recognized in the world. The professional certification carried out by ABET is the authoritative channel for all kinds of professional and technical personnel to obtain professional qualification. An ABET certification means that a university can train internationally competitive engineers. The implementation of ABET certification drives educational innovation, provides advice and advice on global education development, anticipates changes in the educational environment, and provides assistance. The ABET certification has been widely recognized in higher education and engineering technology in the United States and around the world. UIUC takes ABET certification as the main way of professional evaluation of the school, and ZJUI, as part of UIUC's overseas education, will also be included in ABET certification. The simulated evaluation certification organized by UIUC will also make full preparations for the formal certification in 2022.
