Abstract
Faculty of Automatic Control, Electronics and Computer Science (AEC), Silesian University of Technology, Poland, is widely recognised as one of the leading polish Higher Education Institution (HEI) units. Recently, the institutional accreditation by the main national accreditation board - Polish Accreditation Council [1, 2] - confirmed the highest teaching standards at the faculty. A significant part of assessment was based on the Faculty Quality of Education Assurance System (FQEAS) performance. In the paper the faculty development strategy and structure of FQEAS will be presented. The assessment criteria will be discussed and the role of quality assurance system will be indicated. Future work with respect to teaching quality improvement, as well as FQEAS development, will be described. The properties of the presented FQEAS can be easily adopted in other national higher education systems.
