Several universities and institutes in Thailand have used key performance indices on teaching, research and management for their quality assurance. Key performance indices on teaching and research for the academic year 2003 of six schools and institutes of engineering and technology are reported and analysed. All schools and institutes correctly reported the key performance indices on teaching and research but some schools and institute need more understanding on related financial indices. In general, private institutes have better financial audits done externally. The reported teaching and research indices confirm that qualities and efficiencies of academic staff have better impacts on the qualities of graduates and research than quantities of the academic staff. At present, several schools and universities wish to develop their teaching and research and compete internationally. It is necessary for the Commission on Higher Education and The Office for National Education Standards andQualityAssessment to set up additional key performance indices for international quality assurance on these schools and universities. Key words : higher education, performance indices, engineering and technology
