Engineering education is faced with new challenges such as lack of student interest at university level, or loss of engineering graduates to other sectors. The impacts of globalisation in terms of movement of people and services, and high competitiveness of the 21st century mean that engineers are required to have a broader set of skills besides their engineering competencies. This poses obstacles in the area of continuing professional development (CPD) of practising engineers; expecially when competing for jobs on the European market. The lack of engineers with suitable skills has meant that even small and medium engineering enterprises are recruiting engineers from foreign markets. This research paper will help us understand how the system within the engineering institutions across Europe are aiming to facilitate mobility of professional engineers in the workforce. While considering the assessmen...

This in turn presents obstacles in the area of continuing professional development of practising engineers; especially when competing for green jobs on the European market. The advancement of globalisation has meant that even small and medium engineering enterprises are recruiting engineers on foreign markets. We will determine how the systems within the engineering regulatory bodies across Europe are aiming to facilitate mobility of professional engineers for sustainable jobs. While considering the assessment of professional competencies, we aim to achieve more transparency within a system of custom and practice but also promote lifelong learning and up-skilling performances in this area of research.
