- Abstract
In the background of a knowledge economy and globalization, engineering talents, who are the carriers of engineering knowledge, have become a key factor determining the industrial level of all the countries in the world. To explore the competence demand of engineering talents under the trend of globalization and construct an engineering competence framework for cultivating international engineers, this study uses the engineering education accreditation criteria of 15 countries/regions as the research object. Text analysis is performed on the engineering competence requirements of engineering graduates. The key engineering competences are obtained after the samples are manually segmented, and the network of engineering and core engineering competences are constructed. This study explores the core components of engineering talents in the context of the Washington Accord as well as the interactive relationship between these components to provide a reference and quantitative analysis basis for talent training in engineering colleges and universities of China.
