China Association for Science and Technology, China Engineering Education Accreditation Association signed a joint statement with the International Engineering Alliance on mutual accreditation for postgraduate engineering education at the second International Conference for Training Excellent Engineers in Beijing on Saturday.
The initiative, proposed by China, aims to fill a critical gap in the global recognition system for high-level engineering talent. It will establish a unified global benchmark for master's and doctoral engineering programs, cultivating high-caliber international talent capable of addressing challenges such as artificial intelligence, climate change and sustainable development.
Currently, the internationally recognized engineering education mutual accreditation agreements mainly include the Washington Accord at the undergraduate level and agreements for lower degree levels.
Originally signed in 1989, the Washington Accord is committed to fostering the global mutual recognition of engineering qualifications and promoting exchange among engineers all over the world.
