The present dissertation addresses the manifold legal aspects of the administrative and constitutional problems of accreditation in German institutions of higher education. Issues are raised in respect to well-known questions concerning the legal nature of accreditation, as well as to the related encroachment upon fundamental rights. Furthermore, new challenges such as system accreditation and the seldom debated issues concerning the contractual relationships of the involved parties, or the democratic legitimation of the accreditation administration and the legal nature of its decisions are discussed. The study also draws comparisons to similarly structured areas of law - in so doing, further questions of modernisation in higher education, the debate surrounding privatisation and legal aspects of the administrative organisation are commented on. Die Akkreditierung von Studiengängen bietet auch fast 15 Jahre nach ihrer Einführung politisch wie juristisch beträchtlichen Anlass zur Diskussion. Die stetige Fortentwicklung des Akkreditierungsverfahrens, die zunehmende Bedeutung von Qualitätssicherung sowie die immer wieder auffl ammende Debatte um den Bologna-Prozess sorgen dafür, dass das Thema aktuell und lebendig bleibt. Die vorliegende Dissertation widmet sich neben der hochschulpolitischen Entwicklung den vielfältigen verwaltungs- und verfassungsrechtlichen Problemen des Akkreditierungswesens an deutschen Hochschulen. Dabei kommen zum einen altbekannte Fragen zur Rechtsnatur der Akkreditierung oder dem Grundrechtseingriff durch die Akkreditierungspfl icht zur Sprache. Des Weiteren geht es aber auch um neue Herausforderungen wie die Systemakkreditierung und um bisher nur wenig erörterte Themen wie die Vertragsverhältnisse der Beteiligten, die demokratische Legitimation der Akkreditierungsverwaltung sowie die Rechtsnatur ihrer Beschlüsse. Außerdem zieht die Arbeit systematische Vergleiche zu Rechtsgebieten mit ähnlichen Strukturen; dabei nimmt sie u.a. Stellung zu weiteren Fragen der Hochschulmodernisierung, der Privatisierungsdebatte und des Verwaltungsorganisationsrechts.

Raise the Bar: Strengthening the Civil Engineering Profession provides engineering educators and practitioners with a synopsis of the initiative to redefine the preparation of the engineer of the 21st century. Since 1998, the American Society of Civil Engineers has articulated the position that, in the future, education beyond the baccalaureate degree would be necessary for entry into the professional practice of civil engineering. Through a variety of efforts, including the development and implementation of a civil engineering Body of Knowledge, changes in accreditation criteria, and modification of state laws for licensure, ASCE has been a leading advocate in changing the way we prepare today's engineering students to be tomorrow's civil engineers. This collection contains 10 papers recording the history and evaluating the effectiveness of ASCE.s Raise the Bar initiative. These papers include current and accurate information about the broad areas of professionalism, the Body of Knowledge, curricula and experiential development, accreditation, and licensing. They provide a foundation for future efforts to change the education and practice of civil engineering. Collectively, they offer an integrated and holistic perspective on the Raise the Bar initiative. This volume is a handy reference for engineering educators, students, practitioners concerned about the future of the civil engineering profession, and state licensing officials.
