The profession of engineering is becomingincreasingly global. As a result, there is a needfor international agreements governing mutualrecognition of engineering qualifications andprofessional competence.Professional societies (council of engineers,institution of professional engineers, etc.)have been promoting their professional statusand looking after engineering educationthrough accreditation

Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECDAssessment of Higher Education Learning Outcomes, AHELO
What is AHELO?– AHELO will test what students in higher education know and
can do upon graduation. AHELO is a direct evaluation of studentperformance. It will provide data on the relevance and quality ofteaching and learning in higher education. The test aims to beglobal and valid across diverse cultures, languages and differenttypes of institutions.
Background– The expansion of Higher Education, and the resulting demand
for quality assurance.– The globalization of Higher Education, and the resulting demand
for transferability and comparability of degrees and credits.

Main achievements from Japanese side: • A tangible and substantive understanding of a
conceptual framework of engineering competencies and learning outcomes that can be shared globally.
• Concrete and innovative ideas for conceptualizing and measuring competencies and learning outcomes.
• A delightful experience to work on an international team, to learn from global partners, and to be able to make unique contributions.
1. Educational and professional accords for mutual recognition of qualifications and registration in engineering are developing.
2. Several accrediting bodies for engineering qualifications have developed outcomes-based criteria for evaluating programs.
3. Transferability and comparability of degrees of bachelor, master as well as doctor/PhD, across national borders are desired.
