Engineers who are responsible for Japan's technological innovation
with their high expertise are playing an important role in strengthening international
competitiveness of Japan. Amid the swift advancement of technologies and ongoing
globalization of economic activities, it is important to foster and secure sufficient
number of high quality engineers who can support Japan's technological fundamentals
and extend their activities across the boarders.
(Accreditation of Engineering Education and Mutual Recognition of Engineering Qualification) |
For the purpose of improving engineering education at universities,
the Japan Accreditation Board for Engineering Education(JABEE) has been established.
And, to promote the Mutual Recognition of Engineering qualification
within the APEC region, the registration of APEC Engineer was begun.
As competent and ethically ruled Engineer, the importance
of Professional Engineer is increasing. So the qualification of Professional
Engineer is required when applying for the APEC Engineer. The Professional Engineer
Law was amended in April 2000 to pursue basic equivalence with international
Engineering qualification.
