教育机构非常注重课程的设计，它代表了实现机构目标和使命的框架。当然，任何机构的成功在很大程度上取决于其课程的质量。这种课程的开发，更重要的是，对其质量的评估是复杂且耗时的过程。这种传统方法需要许多繁琐的手动迭代，使其成为一个漫长且容易出错的过程。为了克服这些问题，本文提出了一种新的课程支持引擎作为替代方法。所提出的课程支持引擎是一个基于网络的应用程序，有助于实时设计任何项目课程。该引擎包含几个重要功能，可以验证拟议课程的一致性并生成学术和认证所需的统计数据。还提供有用的查看和编辑工具。所提出的课程支持引擎是灵活的，并且允许纳入课程设计者可以指定的附加标准。特别是，该引擎涵盖了加拿大工程项目认证（CEAB）、工程技术认证委员会（ABET）以及阿联酋高等教育和科学研究部学术认证委员会（CAA-UAE）。
Educational institutions pay careful attention to the design of program curricula, which represent a framework to meet institutional goals and missions. Of course, the success of any institution depends highly on the quality of its program curriculum. The development of such a curriculum and, more importantly, the evaluation of its quality are complex and time-consuming processes. This traditional approach requires many cumbersome manual iterations, making it a long and error-prone process. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes a new curriculum support engine as an alternative approach. The proposed curriculum support engine is a Web-based application that helps in designing any program curriculum in real time. The engine incorporates several important features, allowing the verification of the proposed curriculum coherence and the generation of statistics necessary for academic and accreditation purposes. Useful viewing and editing tools are also provided. The proposed curriculum support engine is flexible and allows additional criteria that the curriculum designer can specify to be incorporated. In particular, the engine covers the Accreditation of Canadian Engineering Programs (CEAB), the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), and the Commission of Academic Accreditation of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research of UAE (CAA-UAE).
