摘要：The Software product line engineering is an inter-disciplinary concept. It spans the dimensions of business, architecture, process, and the organization. Similarly, Educational System engineering is also an inter-disciplinary concept, which spans the dimensions of academic, infrastructure, facilities, administration etc. Some of the potential requirements and benefits of this engineering approach includes continuous improvements in educational quality and adhering to global standards. The increasing competency in IT and Educational Sectors necessitates a process maturity evaluation methodology for educational organization. Accordingly, this paper presents a new quality educational capability maturity model for evaluating the maturity of multi - dimension factors and attributes of an Educational System. Assessment questionnaires and a rating methodology comprise the framework of this Capability maturity model for quality Education (CMM-QE). The objective and design of the questionnaires are to collect information about the Education system engineering process from the multi perspectives of academic, infrastructure, administration, facilities etc. This model is validated using PLS-Graph tool, and the organizational maturity is validated by classifying the educational institutions into different levels by applying k-means Cluster analysis using SPSS and finally it is ranked for its maturity level accordingly.
