Assessment of Global Competence of Engineers for a Sustainable World. Evidence from TA VIE Project

This paper outlines a contemporary understanding of global competence for engineers, as understood by European engineering companies, and presents the main findings of the Tools for Enhancing and Assessing the Value of International Experience for Engineers (TA VIE) project, launched in 2018.
