Abstract

The ENTER initiative is an international effort funded by the European Commission to certify and register the qualifications of engineering educators. The ENTER certification is important for professionals who wish to demonstrate their qualifications in the field of engineering education. The paper presents a simulation tool that allows potential candidates to evaluate their qualifications and experience to determine if they are eligible to become a registered professional engineering professor in ENTER. The simulation tool uses a set of rubrics and an online questionnaire of 33 questions grouped under five different aspects to estimate the applicant's credentials. If the simulation shows that the user qualifies to be registered, they can then complete the application process and submit a fully documented portfolio for review by three registered experts from the Monitoring Committee. If approved, the professor would then be registered and qualified to use the tile iPEER (International Professional Engineering Educator Register), and all their ENTER-certified professional training can be verified online. The paper also discusses the technical aspects of meeting the security and privacy requirements of ENTER. ENTER is the only professional regulating body recognized to regulate the International Standard Classification of Occupations ISCO - 2311 Engineering Educator profession. The initiative has been successful, with almost 2000 professors from 42 countries registered since November 2023, and over 4000 in the process. The goal of the paper is to increase the transparency on the review process and to encourage more Engineering Educators to complete the registration process in ENTER.
