Goals of Engineering Education

Engineers search for quicker, better, and less expensive ways to use forces and materials of nature to meet today´s challenges. Engineering students must become skilled in basic engineering principles and practices, be trained to think analytically, learn how to communicate effectively and work in multidisciplinary teams.


New Competencies of Educators• Development competencies

• Communication skills

• Ethics

• Teamwork

• Evaluation management

• Intercultural competencies


The qualification profile of an engineering educator is based on engineering qualification which was earned through a recognised and/or accredited engineering study followed by relevant professional engineering experienceandqualifications in engineering pedagogy acquired in a course of a comprehensive educational program for engineering educators.

The IGIP accreditation process is organised by the International Monitoring Committee of IGIP. The accreditation criteria are:- organisation of the program- entrance requirements for applicants- skills/abilities of the graduates - engineering pedagogical curriculum- qualification of lecturers- institutional resources- quality control and feedback

Accreditation Process


IGIP has install a system of double-controlling for the accreditation process and the awarding of the Ing-Paed (IGIP)-Diploma:

NMC (National Monitoring Committee):Is prepareing the Diploma-and (Re-) Accredition-Papers for the IMC (with referal);

IMC (International Monitoring Committee):Is controlling the work of the NMC´s and will award the Diplomas and the (Re-) Accreditions.

IMC and NMC


IGIP accredits training centers for International Engineering Educators, whose teaching matter conforms to IGIP's curriculum for engineering pedagogy.

These 43 centers are located in • Europe (Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, The Netherlands, Poland, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Switzerland, Ukraine), •Asia (Russia and Kazakhstan) and •South America (Brazil).

Training Centers


A re-accreditation process has to be gone through every five years by any IGIP training center. The requirements and/or its changes are evaluated by the International Monitoring Committee.The latest accreditations were in 2006 for an institution in Krasnoyarsk, in 2007 for an institution in Stavropol and in Irkutsk, Russia.

Re-accreditation


IGIP created an international register of engineering educators, which guarantees minimum standards in technical expertise and a well-balanced competence profile for engineering educators.

Diplomas were given in Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, The Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, Slovak Republic, NL, RO, S, Russia, Ukraine USA, and Uzbekistan.

IGIP Register


IGIP guarantees that all types of universities and other cradles of engineers – worldwide - employ engineering educators with

teaching competencies correlating to the needs of modern engineering.
