International Comparison of Professional Degree Education Certification in Environmental Engineering

Abstract This paper takes environmental engineering education professional certification as the research object. (1) Through extensive literature research, the environmental engineering education professional certifications such as ABET, ECUK and ASIIN are taken as examples to the certification institutions involved in engineering education certification in developed countries. The content of the certification standard, the certification procedure, the relationship between the certification and the qualification of the engineer were systematically sorted and analyzed in detail. Through comparative analysis, the similarities and differences between the three certification bodies are obtained. (2) The comparative analysis method was used to classify the characteristics of engineering education certification in developed countries as “six combinations”.
