Abstract. Multilevel certification system was proposed, which is based on existing procedures in the world and
in Europe. The system covers all the period of possessor’s carrier: from the school till own engineering projects
and honorable titles. New levels are included to the system, e.g. for school and university students. Engineering
certificates and personal data of applicants should be saved in e-register. This register is built similar to so called
labor book for Soviet Union employees.
Keywords: engineers, certification, system, register.
introdUction
Ukraine, Portugal, Australia, Chili…The dis-
tances between these countries are few thousand
kilometers, they have different landscape, climate,
their inhabitants speak different languages and
have different mentalities. But… One can fly by
same type of aircraft to reach any of them and use
the same type of cell phone or rent the same type of
car without inconveniency in any of these countries.
The large group of people, which has general name
“engineer”, is responsible for work same devices
and machines worldwide. Or, in other words: en-
gineer is the specialty “without borders”. Unfor-
tunately, ge neral understanding of this statement
doesn’t follow by well established international pro-
cedure for engineering qualification comparison.
Everybody knows about TUV label for product certi-
fication [1]. Networks for accreditation of engineer-
ing programs, e.g. IEA [2] and/or ENAEE [3],cover
almost all the world. But certification procedures
for individuals are using (much) less often.
The objective of this article is to describe the
multi-level cross-cutting certification system for
engineers, which Union of scientific and engineer-
ing associations of Ukraine(USEAU, [4]) started to
implement in Ukraine. We do believe that format of
certification procedure for individual should include
many levels/steps and follow the specific person
during all his life. We are considering this proposal
as our contribution into the discussion in Euro-
pean/world engineering community concerning the
subject and hope that our ideas/experience would
be helpful not only for our organization.
Proposed multilevel system for certifica-
tion of engineers. During long period of coopera-
tion with international technical federations USEAU
learned existing procedures of independent certifi-
cation of engineers and further implemented many
of them. Detailed description of these procedures
and the report about our activities are in [5, 6]. As
shortly, we already implemented all FEANI [7] tools
in Ukraine: INDEX register; Engineering Cards; EUR
ING title. We also supported the process of obtain-
ing the first ENAEE EUR ACE label in our country
and initiated Ukraine membership in ENAEE. We
also hope to extend European licenses for civil
engineers for Ukraine and establish formal coope-
ration with ECEC [8] and ECCE [9].
Ukrainian business is opening European mar-
ket now with the number of request of listed above
European engineering certificates. The same time
our practice showed that existing opportunities
doesn’t cover all the cases. That is why; we are
starting to create the certification system. For
the key element of this system we used former So-
viet Union practice, namely, so called Labor book,
which follows worker during all his employment
period and reflects all his professional positions
with the list of awards, trainings, etc. Such Labor
book was independent cross-cutting confirmation
of step-by-step professional growth of its owner.
But our modern time requires modern tools. So,
instead of paper document we are launching now
cross-cutting e-register for all certification
levels. It means that each possessor can obtain
its own “certification cell”, which gathers all his
achievements and follows him during his entire car-
rier from school till retirement. Proposed e-register
is the core of proposed system. Similar to skewer
for cooking meal, e-register joins set of indepen-
dent certification procedures into the system.
It is very easy to explain our idea after above
introduction (tables 1 and 2).
As the next step we distributed existing cer-
tification procedures into appropriate bands
(table 1). We guess that is natural to put FEANI
Engineering Card and ECCE membership Card
into Band II. We put ECEC licenses and petroleum
engineering certification [8] into Band III. One can
consider present FEANI EUR ING as both: certi-
fication and/or honorable title. Because of such
“dualism”(more details are below) we divided EUR
ING and put it in table 1 twice (in Bands III and
IV).But, as one can see, table 1 looks “very poor”
наука, технолоГії, інноваЦії • 2017, № 4
Science, technologieS, innovationS • 2017, № 482
and has a lot of empty space, even with artificial
trick with EUR ING.
Proposed novelties. Based on our local ex-
perience and demand of our possessors we added
to the bands new certification levels:
1. First of all, we placed two new certification
levels with the name “Future engineer” into Band
I. We insist that better engineer is formed from
those pupils/students, who “waste their time” for
designing and producing technical innovations
additionally to their regular study in the schools
and universities. Thus, we do believe that obtaining
official cards in similar format as FEANI Engineer-
ing Card will increase motivation to be engineer
for creative young people;
2. New certification level with name: Engineer-
ing Card (EU) appeared inside Band II. We plan to
convince FEANI and our colleagues from, first of
all, Poland and Czech Republic to issue EU Cards
for Ukrainian applicants. We consider that precon-
dition for the new card should be obtaining local
(Ukrainian) Engineering Card. Local Card is used
as authorized confirmation of education level and
professional employment. We guess that appli-
cant should overcome additional “barrier” to get
EU Card, probably as “light variant” of exam for
license for civil engineer. For today we see it as
short interview in the following format: a) as tele-
conference; b) with local expert as examiner and
c) by use language of country of issue. The exam
should investigate applicant’s knowledge of EU
standards and EU engineering ethic;
3. We also have revolutionary (?) proposal for
FEANI EUR ING Title. Initially EUR ING was the first
Pan-European engineering certificate. Later (after
launching Engineering Card) it “drifts” to honor-
able title. We guess that minority changes in FEANI
manuals could divide original EUR ING into three
different levels:
• Certification for qualified engineers (level with
the name EUR ING (C) inside Band III, similar to
license for civil engineers) with probably exam
for applicants;
• We insist to create new level for project leaders
(level with the name EUR ING (PL) inside Band
IV). We consider it as also certification level, but
for those applicants, who reached outstanding
professional results, or more specific: who al-

ready managed his own engineering project(s).
Just as example: one of the largest bridges in
Kiev, capital of Ukraine. It was one of successful
project of prominent Ukrainian engineer Prof.
Evgeniі Paton. Today this construction has name
Pa ton Bridge;
• We also guess that EUR ING should be saved
as the highest European honorable engineer-
ing title (level with the name EUR ING (T) inside
Band IV).
4. We also added National Honorable Titles
to the Band IV.
And we obtained more attractive table 2 af-
ter adding proposed novelties to the table 1.
table 2 has one extra column. “Old procedures”
are marked by “+” in it. Proposed extensions are
marked as “New” in this column. One also can find
symbol “+/New” in the last column. This mark is
for “divided into three” FEANI EUR ING.
It should be stressed, that we put levels in-
side any selected band (table 2) as equal ones.
Proposed scheme is the first draft, so we don’t
consider ranking and priorities inside each band.
It should be the subject for discussion in the fu-
ture.
how to launch the system? Any manual says
that invention should have combination of ma-
jority of well-known technical elements, which is
balanced by certain number of innovations. For
small number of novelties one obtains only certain
improvement of known technical solution. In case
of big number of innovative elements, proposed
machine may not work. We tried to follow above
rules while “inventing” our system:
і - As one can see, the majority of certification
procedures in the Table 2 are existing ones;
іі - We plan that guidance for the new procedures
(like Future Engineer Cards in Band I or Engi-
neering Card (EU) in Band II) will be based on
existing FEANI/ECEC/ECCE regulations and,
it seems, doesn’t need many changes during
implementation;
ііі - We propose the procedure for investigation
of the applications on the national level similar
to FEANI practice. It should be small secre-
tariat in USEAU HQ for formal final inspection
(before submission to European/world level).
This secretariat is also responsible for all fi-
nancial matters;
iv - We assume to use ENAEE format with num-
ber of authorized agencies for the initial in-
spection of specific engineering professions
in our country. In other words, we plan that
Aerospace Society of Ukraine will inspect ap-
plications of aerospace engineers; Ukrainian
Nuclear Society does similar job for nuclear
engineers and etc.;
v - For present we have almost forty local techni-
cal associations, which support above ideas.
All interested parties are joining today into
National Network “European Engineer”.
conclUSionS/PlanS for the fUtUre
1. The system for certification of engineers
during long-life is proposed. One should consider
this system as the first draft, which will be cor-
rected and filled by new elements during imple-
mentation;
2. Implementation of proposed system is im-
possible without joint efforts of a number of inter-
ested parties: technical associations; universities;
business; etc. It is planned to joint of all of them
into National Network “European Engineer”;
3. We are considering proposed system as pi-
lot initiative and do believe that (in case of suc-
cess) our experience will be useful for European
and world engineering community.
