Abstract
Based on a return on experience, this paper describes and analyzes the application of a model-based assessment taking inspiration from ISO 15504 Process Assessment Models and Measurement Framework to the domain of higher educational systems. The context of the analysis is a medium higher educational institution in engineering. A worldwide used educational framework for engineering education quality is first described. By analyzing its underlying assessment model and measurement framework, the authors propose some improvements inspired by ISO 15504 series thanks to assessment experiences to highlight further research and development to move towards a Higher Education-15504 model.
