The Australian Engineering Accreditation Centre (AEAC) evaluates engineering programs at the levels of Professional Engineer, Engineering Technologist, and Engineering Associate. Competency Standards are published as a foundation reference for part of the assessment process and set out the generic competencies deemed to be essential for an individual to commence practice in the appropriate occupational category. The standards cover knowledge, skills and engineering application abilities as well as professional skills, values and attitudes, and provide detailed indicators of attainment for each

On the basis of the Act on Quality Assurance in Higher Education, the Agency for Quality Assurance and Accreditation Austria is responsible for carrying out accreditation procedures in Austria. Private universities and universities of applied sciences (FH) require accreditation as a prerequisite for state recognition. In accrediting a higher education institution, AQ Austria certifies that they have met the prerequisites for accreditation. In addition to the statutory accreditation procedures in Austria, AQ Austria also offers voluntary accreditation of degree programmes for HEIs abroad. By

ABET is a nonprofit, non-governmental agency that accredits programs in applied and natural science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology. They provide voluntary, specialized accreditation for post-secondary programs within degree-granting institutions already recognized by national or regional institutional accreditation agencies or national education authorities worldwide. ABET is engaged globally through four primary means: 1) accreditation of academic programs; 2) mutual recognition of accreditation organizations; 3) Memoranda of Understanding with accreditation/quality

BAETE provides accreditation to programs offered by institutions of higher learning approved in Bangladesh. In general, the accreditation of a program recognizes and acknowledges the value of transforming a student into a capable engineer with sound knowledge of fundamentals and an acceptable level of professional competence. Accreditation is granted only to programs and not to the institution as a whole. The same program offered at different campuses of an institution must be accredited separately at each campus. The evaluation of a program will include assessment of both qualitative as well

The CTI is an independent body, charged by French law since 1934, with evaluating all engineering training, developing the quality of training, promoting the title and the profession of engineer in France and abroad.
