Goals of Engineering Education
Engineers search for quicker, better, and less expensive ways to use forces and materials of nature to meet today´s challenges. Engineering students must become skilled in basic engineering principles and practices, be trained to think analytically, learn how to communicate effectively and work in multidisciplinary teams.

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 Educationhttp://www.igip.org
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 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 Educationhttp://www.igip.org
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
