Abstract
Scientific curriculum evaluation methods are critical for achieving talent training objectives. The Sydney Accord, one of the three major engineering education certification agreements, focuses on the training of “engineering technologists.” Its logical system and three core principles align well with the connotation development of professional construction in China’s higher vocational colleges, offering significant insights for promoting reform and development in engineering education in Chinese colleges and universities. By incorporating the core principles, elements, and graduate quality defined in the Sydney Accord and focusing on the evaluation of curriculum achievement against “graduation requirements,” the quality of vocational education can be enhanced, making it an important direction for future teaching reforms in vocational education.
