Engineering education professional certification (referred to as engineering certification) is an internationally accepted quality assurance system for engineering education, and it is also an important basis for achieving international mutual recognition of engineering education and engineer qualifications.

In China, the professional certification of engineering education is carried out by specialized professional or trade associations (federations), societies, educators in this field and enterprise experts in related industries, and it is a qualified evaluation of engineering majors in higher education.

What is washington accord?

Washington accord is one of the most authoritative and influential mutual recognition agreements for undergraduate degrees in engineering education in the world. It was initiated and signed on 1989 by civil engineering professional groups in six countries including the United States, Britain, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Contracting organizations mutually recognize engineering education degrees certified by other contracting organizations. At the same time, graduates who have graduated from any contracting agency certification major should be regarded by other contracting agencies as having obtained academic qualifications in engineering work in this professional field.

In short, students who pass engineering certification, including those who graduate within three years, will be recognized by engineering certification associations all over the world.

Why do you need engineering certification?

The purpose of carrying out professional certification of engineering education in China mainly includes:

① Build a quality monitoring system for engineering education, promote the reform of engineering education and further improve the quality of engineering education.

② Establish an engineering education certification system linked with the engineer system, promote the docking of engineering education and industry, and enhance the adaptability of engineering education personnel training to industrial development.

③ Promote the international mutual recognition of China's engineering education and enhance the international competitiveness of China's engineering talents.

What is the basic idea of 04 engineering certification?

China's engineering education certification mainly advocates three basic concepts:

① The student-centered concept. Emphasis is placed on student-centered, resource allocation and teaching arrangement around the realization of all students' training objectives and graduation requirements, and the satisfaction of students and employers is taken as an important reference for professional evaluation.

② The concept of output orientation. It is emphasized that the design and implementation of professional teaching should be guided by students' learning achievements after receiving education, and the effectiveness of professional education should be evaluated against the core competence and requirements of graduates.

③ The concept of continuous improvement. It is emphasized that the specialty must establish an effective quality monitoring and continuous improvement mechanism, which can continuously track the improvement effect and promote the continuous improvement of the quality of professional personnel training.

What is the significance of 05 engineering certification?

(1) For students, a certified professional diploma will get a "ticket" to enter the international job market.

② For the school, the "improving teaching quality" that has been emphasized has a clear and reasonable frame of reference for the first time.

③ For the country, it can prove to the international community that we can effectively control the largest engineering education system in the world.
