IGIP International Society for Engineering Education 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 International Society for Engineering Education 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 International Society for Engineering Education 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

IGIP International Society for Engineering Education 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 International Society for Engineering Education 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
